The Neophyte is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Ignore group.

Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. The Neophyte has 13,500 base Health - one of the toughest creatures in the game. Stamina sits at 225 base, providing decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 280, giving it a solid weight pool.

The Neophyte cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 12°C–16°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.68 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
