The 시조새, a tamable, unknown creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It falls within the Shoulder Pet classification.
Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the 시조새 brings respectable melee power to the table. At 125 base HP, the 시조새 is extremely fragile. With 150 base Stamina, the 시조새 has average stamina. Weight capacity starts at 30, giving it minimal inventory space.
You'll need to knock the 시조새 unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the 시조새 is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 16°C and 20°C. Killing a wild 시조새 yields 0.5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.13 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
