Each 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.

The Microraptor is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Shoulder Pet category.

Stamina sits at 100 base, providing tires quickly. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Microraptor sits at 130 base, making it extremely fragile. It carries 45 base Weight - not built for hauling.

The Microraptor is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Rare Flower - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Microraptor is commonly used for scouting and quick travel between locations. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.34 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
