ARK: Survival Ascended features the Gasbags as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Soaker group.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. At 650 base HP, the Gasbags is quite durable. Its base Stamina of 600 gives it outstanding staying power. Weight capacity starts at 3000, giving it an enormous weight pool.
To tame the Gasbags, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Gasbags is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.72 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
