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 Mosasaurus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It belongs to the Water category.

Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Mosasaurus brings solid damage output to the table. At 3,600 base HP, the Mosasaurus is one of the toughest creatures in the game. With 400 base Stamina, the Mosasaurus has good endurance. A base Weight of 1300 means massive inventory space.

You'll need to knock the Mosasaurus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Mosasaurus pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Defeating one in the wild grants 15 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.88 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
