Found throughout the ARKs, the Vulture is a tamable, 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 is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. 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.
