Nameless
Nameless Overview
In ARK: Survival Ascended, Nameless occupies the wild niche - roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Untamable in the traditional sense, Nameless fields 100% base Melee Damage, giving it solid damage output when survivors meet it in the wild. Breeding is disabled for Nameless, so each individual must be obtained directly rather than raised. Its harvest profile centers on Hide, Raw Meat, making farming runs noticeably faster. Treat encounters with situational awareness rather than taming intent.

Harvesting a dead Nameless yields Hide, Raw Meat. The corpse has 120 harvest health, allowing multiple hits before it's fully depleted.
Different tools yield different quantities - check the table below to pick the right tool for the resource you need. Generally, a Pick favors meat while a Hatchet favors hide and secondary materials.
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
