Yutyrannus
Yutyrannus Overview
Yutyrannus is a land-based carnivore in ARK: Survival Ascended, is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Tamed via knockout taming (Extraordinary Kibble is the optimal food), this carnivore enters service with 500 base Weight, providing massive inventory space. It reproduces by laying fertilized eggs that incubate between 32°C and 34°C, with babies maturing at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. Once tamed it harvests Pelt, Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat more efficiently than most player tools. It earns its place in the stable for survivors looking to graduate from early-game tames.
