The Dunkleosteus is a tamable, aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Farmer group.
Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. With 710 base Health, the Dunkleosteus is solidly tanky. With 200 base Stamina, the Dunkleosteus has decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 910, giving it excellent carrying capacity.
The Dunkleosteus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Dunkleosteus is well-suited for deep-sea exploration, cave diving, and ocean resource runs. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Defeating one in the wild grants 12 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.43 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
