Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Vulture is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Shoulder Pet category.

Stamina sits at 150 base, providing average stamina. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Vulture has decent hitting power. Health-wise, the Vulture sits at 125 base, making it extremely fragile. A base Weight of 50 means minimal inventory space.

The Vulture is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Spoiled Meat.

Once tamed, the Vulture works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 35°C and 38°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
