Base Settings

Douse the Pyromane with water (rain, ocean, or water source) to apply the Doused debuff, then deal damage until a mount prompt appears. While mounted, kill nearby creatures and absorb their flames to fill the taming bar. The Pyromane will periodically buck you off — re-douse and repeat the cycle until fully tamed.

Starve & Torpor Timers

Found throughout the ARKs, the Pyromane is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Shoulder Pet category.

Stamina sits at 350 base, providing good endurance. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Pyromane has solid damage output. The Pyromane has 600 base Health - impressively tough. It carries 300 base Weight - good carrying capacity.

As a tame, the Pyromane is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.95 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
