Building Templates for Basilisk

The Basilisk is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the DMG group.

Starting at 2,750 Health, it's extremely durable. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Its base Stamina of 650 gives it exceptional endurance. Weight capacity starts at 800, giving it massive inventory space.

This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Fertilized Voidwyrm Egg.

As a tame, the Basilisk pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 32°C–38°C temperature window. Killing a wild Basilisk yields 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.78 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
