ARK: Survival Ascended features the Tek Raptor as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.

The Tek Raptor has 200 base Health - relatively fragile. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 150 gives it moderate endurance. It carries 140 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.

To tame the Tek Raptor, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Tek Raptor is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 20°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Tek Raptor is worth 3 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
