ARK: Survival Ascended features the Paleopolpo as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Water classification.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. With 1,050 base Health, the Paleopolpo is quite durable. Stamina sits at 400 base, providing solid stamina reserves. A base Weight of 1000 means massive inventory space.

To tame the Paleopolpo, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Raw Mutton - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the Paleopolpo combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a -75°C, 75°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.85 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
