Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Astrocetus is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Flyer classification.

The Astrocetus has 2,800 base Health - extremely durable. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Astrocetus brings solid damage output to the table. With 600 base Stamina, the Astrocetus has massive stamina reserves. It carries 2000 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.

As a tame, the Astrocetus excels at carrying heavy loads through the air, making base-to-base logistics much faster. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
