Raw Prime MeatEach hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Megalania is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the DMG category.
Its base Stamina of 400 gives it good endurance. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Megalania has respectable melee power. With 480 base Health, the Megalania is decently sturdy. Weight capacity starts at 400, giving it good carrying capacity.
