The X-Tapejara, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It belongs to the Variant category.

The X-Tapejara has 315 base Health - reasonably durable. Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Tapejara brings respectable melee power to the table. With 250 base Stamina, the X-Tapejara has average stamina. It carries 280 base Weight - generous inventory space.

You'll need to knock the X-Tapejara unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the X-Tapejara works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 29°C and 32°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
