ARK: Survival Ascended features the Lightning Raptor as a carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.

The Lightning Raptor has 200 base Health - on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. With 150 base Stamina, the Lightning Raptor has decent staying power. A base Weight of 140 means modest carrying capacity.

The Lightning Raptor cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. A wild Lightning Raptor is worth 3 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
