R-Daeodon
Variant
Overview
R-Daeodon is a carnivorous variant creature from Genesis: Part 2, slightly weaker in Health but stronger in Melee than its base form. It excels as a mobile healing platform for allied creatures, restoring health over time when its Healing Aura is activated. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment into combat zones.
Spawn Locations
R-Daeodon does not currently spawn on any ARK: Survival Ascended map, or spawn data is not yet available.
R-Daeodon must be knocked out using standard taming methods. Superior Kibble is the best food for taming, providing the fastest affinity gain. Raw Mutton also works well if Superior Kibble is unavailable. Use a Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y to immobilize it before sedation. Effective knockout tools include the Bow, Crossbow, Compound Bow, or Tek Bow with Tranq Arrows, or the Fabricated Sniper Rifle. The process takes about 13 minutes with 26 Superior Kibble at level 224. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing an R-Daeodon yields Hide, Raw Meat, and Keratin. The Hatchet provides the highest yield of Hide and Keratin, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat recovery.
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Gathering Abilities
While mounted, R-Daeodon gathers a wide range of resources with its bite attack, including Berries, Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Rare Flower, Rare Mushroom, Wood, Cactus Sap, and Fiber. Each of these resources is gathered at a 10× multiplier, making it highly efficient for plant and fiber farming. It also collects various seeds such as Mejoberry Seed, Narcoberry Seed, Plant Species X Seed, and Plant Species Y Seed at the same rate.
Damage Resistances
R-Daeodon has a strong weakness to Instant HurtDinos, taking +120% damage from them. It is also highly vulnerable to spike walls, which deal +100% damage. Conversely, it is completely resistant to mining drill harvesting. Melee attacks with projectile impact effects are 50% less effective. Explosions and certain melee weapons like the Metal RaidDino deal significantly more damage, making them ideal for taking it down quickly.
