Found throughout the ARKs, the Plesiosaur is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Water group.

With 100% base Melee Damage, the Plesiosaur has decent hitting power. At 2,400 base HP, the Plesiosaur is extremely durable. With 800 base Stamina, the Plesiosaur has exceptional endurance. A base Weight of 800 means an enormous weight pool.

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

Once tamed, the Plesiosaur 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 0.42 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
