The Glowtail, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. Classified under the Shoulder Pet group.
Stamina sits at 100 base, providing low stamina reserves. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Glowtail has respectable melee power. With 115 base Health, the Glowtail is extremely fragile. It carries 70 base Weight - not built for hauling.
The Glowtail is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Plant Species Z Seed.
Once tamed, the Glowtail is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 30°C and 34°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.05 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
