Found throughout the ARKs, the Brontosaurus is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Farmer group.

At 2,277 base HP, the Brontosaurus is a proper tank. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Brontosaurus brings respectable melee power to the table. Stamina sits at 240 base, providing decent staying power. A base Weight of 1600 means an enormous weight pool.

Taming the Brontosaurus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Exceptional Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Brontosaurus is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 28°C and 31°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 22 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.79 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
