The 매과나, a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the Breeding classification.

With 100% base Melee Damage, the 매과나 has respectable melee power. Health-wise, the 매과나 sits at 700 base, making it solidly tanky. With 450 base Stamina, the 매과나 has respectable staying power. Weight capacity starts at 400, giving it good carrying capacity.

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

After taming, the 매과나 earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 24°C and 28°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.31 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
