Stone

Raw Meat

Raw Prime MeatEach hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.
The Quetzal is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Flyer category.
Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Starting at 1,200 Health, it's among the tougher creatures. Its base Stamina of 800 gives it massive stamina reserves. It carries 800 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.
The Quetzal is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the Quetzal combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 5°C–6°C temperature window. A wild Quetzal is worth 18 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.98 Element plus 0.1 Element per level.
