ARK: Survival Ascended features the Scrap Elemental as a tamable, minerals creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Variant classification.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. At 25,000 base HP, the Scrap Elemental is an absolute bullet sponge. Its base Stamina of 300 gives it decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 660, giving it excellent carrying capacity.

To tame the Scrap Elemental, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Sulfur for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Scrap Elemental is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Killing a wild Scrap Elemental yields 50 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.88 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
