ARK: Survival Ascended features the X-rex as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.

Stamina sits at 420 base, providing respectable staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it decent hitting power. The X-rex has 1,067 base Health - solidly tanky. Weight capacity starts at 500, giving it excellent carrying capacity.

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

As a tame, the X-rex earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 32°C–34°C temperature window. A wild X-rex is worth 30 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.87 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
