Lost Dire Bear
Lost Dire Bear Overview
In ARK: Survival Ascended, Lost Dire Bear occupies the wild niche - cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. Untamable in the traditional sense, Lost Dire Bear fields 650 base Weight, providing an enormous weight pool when survivors meet it in the wild. Reproduction is by live birth following gestation; juveniles mature over a lengthy period. Survivors lean on it to gather Hide, Raw Meat, Pelt at much higher rates than hand tools. Treat encounters with situational awareness rather than taming intent.
