ARK: Survival Ascended features the Archelon as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Water group.

With 775 base Stamina, the Archelon has exceptional endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. Health-wise, the Archelon sits at 1,400 base, making it extremely durable. A base Weight of 1000 means massive inventory space.

The Archelon is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Superior Kibble.

Once tamed, the Archelon pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 26°C–29°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.91 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
