The Boaratos, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the DMG classification.

Health-wise, the Boaratos sits at 1,050 base, making it quite durable. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Boaratos has decent hitting power. Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves. It carries 500 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.

You'll need to knock the Boaratos unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Extraordinary Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Boaratos is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Killing a wild Boaratos yields 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
