The Jerboa, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the Shoulder Pet group.
Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Jerboa brings solid damage output to the table. Health-wise, the Jerboa sits at 55 base, making it extremely fragile. Stamina sits at 100 base, providing low stamina reserves. It carries 120 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.
Taming the Jerboa requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Plant Species Y Seed for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Jerboa is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Killing a wild Jerboa yields 0.5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.51 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
