Elementale di scarto
ARK: Survival Ascended has the Elementale di scarto as a tamable, minerals creature that survivors will run into in the wild. It's in the Variant category.
Its base Stamina of 300 gives it solid staying power. Its base Melee Damage is at 100%, so it packs decent damage. With 25,000 base HP, the Elementale di scarto is basically a tank. Weight capacity starts at 660, giving it a huge weight pool.
To tame the Elementale di scarto, you need to knock it out with Torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Use Sulfur for the fastest and most effective tame.
Once tamed, the Elementale di scarto is a solid workhorse - it can gather and haul resources efficiently. Killing a wild Elementale di scarto gives 50 base XP. You can clone it at a Cloning Chamber for 0.88 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
