Enraged Lightning Rex
Enraged Lightning Rex Overview
Survivors looking at Enraged Lightning Rex in ARK: Survival Ascended will find a land-based carnivore that roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Enraged Lightning Rex cannot be tamed through conventional methods and is encountered with 8,500 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge. It gives live birth after a gestation period, with offspring maturing over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. Its harvest profile centers on Hide, Raw Meat, Corrupted Nodule and additional resources, making farming runs noticeably faster. That combination of survivability and damage is why Enraged Lightning Rex sits on most endgame mount shortlists.
