Purlovia
Purlovia Overview
Purlovia is a land-based carnivore in ARK: Survival Ascended, earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. As a carnivore, it responds to knockout taming - favoring Regular Kibble - and ships with 400 base Weight, providing generous inventory space. Reproduction is by live birth following gestation; juveniles mature slowly. Survivors lean on it to gather Hide, Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat at much higher rates than hand tools. It earns its place in the stable for survivors looking to graduate from early-game tames.
