Raw Prime MeatEach 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.

The Desmodus is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Flyer classification.
Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. At 325 base HP, the Desmodus is reasonably durable. Its base Stamina of 500 gives it solid stamina reserves. It carries 350 base Weight - generous inventory space.
The Desmodus is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Blood Pack.
Once tamed, the Desmodus works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. A wild Desmodus is worth 3 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
