The Tapejara-X, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It belongs to the Variant category.

The Tapejara-X has 315 base Health - decently sturdy. Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the Tapejara-X brings decent hitting power to the table. With 250 base Stamina, the Tapejara-X has moderate endurance. It carries 280 base Weight - good carrying capacity.

You'll need to knock the Tapejara-X unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Tapejara-X is a versatile flyer useful for scouting, traversal, and light transport. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 29°C and 32°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
