The Bison, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps.
Health-wise, the Bison sits at 800 base, making it solidly tanky. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Bison has decent hitting power. Stamina sits at 500 base, providing respectable staying power. Weight capacity starts at 650, giving it an enormous weight pool.
Taming the Bison requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the Bison is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. A wild Bison is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.39 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
