The Raptor is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Misc group.

The Raptor has 200 base Health - not particularly tanky. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. With 150 base Stamina, the Raptor has decent staying power. It carries 140 base Weight - modest carrying capacity.

The Raptor is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Raptor earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 20°C–28°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
