Found throughout the ARKs, the X-Woolly Rhino is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.
Starting at 485 Health, it's reasonably durable. With 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Woolly Rhino has respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 120 gives it limited endurance. It carries 750 base Weight - massive inventory space.
Taming the X-Woolly Rhino requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the X-Woolly Rhino pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Killing a wild X-Woolly Rhino yields 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.39 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
To tame the X-Woolly Rhino, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.9/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the X-Woolly Rhino at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the X-Woolly Rhino sedated throughout taming. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. With Torpor draining at 0.9/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level X-Woolly Rhino: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the X-Woolly Rhino. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the X-Woolly Rhino first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Procoptodon to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
