The SIR-5rM8, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It belongs to the Ignore category.

A base Weight of 500 means an enormous weight pool. The SIR-5rM8 has 10,000 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge.

You'll need to knock the SIR-5rM8 unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Basic Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the SIR-5rM8 serves as a living shield - ideal for drawing aggro in dangerous situations. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
