ARK: Survival Ascended features the X-Ankylosaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.

At 679 base HP, the X-Ankylosaurus is impressively tough. Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it solid damage output. With 175 base Stamina, the X-Ankylosaurus has decent staying power. A base Weight of 250 means generous inventory space.

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

As a tame, the X-Ankylosaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 16°C–20°C temperature window. Killing a wild X-Ankylosaurus yields 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.93 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the X-Ankylosaurus unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The X-Ankylosaurus bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
