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.

The Ceratosaurus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps.

Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Ceratosaurus brings respectable melee power to the table. With 550 base Health, the Ceratosaurus is reasonably durable. Its base Stamina of 400 gives it respectable staying power. Weight capacity starts at 350, giving it a solid weight pool.

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 Extraordinary Kibble.

As a tame, the Ceratosaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 32°C and 34°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.74 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
