ARK: Survival Ascended features the Sarco as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Water group.

Stamina sits at 450 base, providing respectable staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. The Sarco has 400 base Health - reasonably durable. A base Weight of 300 means a solid weight pool.

To tame the Sarco, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the Sarco earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 30°C–34°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.22 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
