The Aberrant Gigantopithecus, a tamable herbivore in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a big deal on multiple maps. It's in the Variant category.

It has a base Stamina of 300, so it's got decent endurance. With 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Gigantopithecus packs a solid punch. It has 614 base Health — pretty tough. Weight capacity starts at 220, which gives it a decent inventory size.

You don't need to knock it out to tame the Aberrant Gigantopithecus. Just sneak up and hand-feed it its favorite food. Its favorite is Regular Kibble.

Once tamed, the Aberrant Gigantopithecus is mainly used for gathering resources, especially good at collecting certain mats. A wild Aberrant Gigantopithecus gives 20 base XP when you kill it. You can clone it at a Cloning Chamber for 0.35 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
