The R-Megatherium, a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.

Starting at 718 Health, it's impressively tough. With 105% base Melee Damage, the R-Megatherium has decent hitting power. With 400 base Stamina, the R-Megatherium has respectable staying power. Weight capacity starts at 725, giving it massive inventory space.

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

Once tamed, the R-Megatherium is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Defeating one in the wild grants 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
