The Spino, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the DMG classification.

At 805 base HP, the Spino is solidly tanky. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Spino has decent hitting power. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it solid stamina reserves. It carries 350 base Weight - good carrying capacity.

You'll need to knock the Spino unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Exceptional Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Spino is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 30°C and 32°C.
