Allosaurus
Creature Guide
DinosaursOverview
The Allosaurus (AL-oh-SAWR-us) is the ultimate mid-tier pack-hunting carnivore in ARK: Survival Ascended/Evolved. This aggressive theropod spawns in packs of 3 (which merge when they encounter each other), with the highest level becoming the Alpha with a red-orange aura. The Alpha gains +50% damage, -25% damage reduction, and access to the devastating Gore ability that inflicts Gashed bleed (5% max HP bleed/10s + 50% slow, ignores armor). Rideable at level 67 with a saddle, tamed with Superior Kibble. #1 choice for slaying armored foes like Giga, Titanosaur, and Rock Golems via pack bleeds.

Wild
Smaller but faster than Tyrannosaurus, larger but slower than Carnotaurus, Allosaurus therotribus is the island
Domesticated
Not everyone thinks a tamed Allosaurus is ideal. Those who appreciate speed generally tame Carnotaurus, while those who value raw stopping power tame Tyrannosaurus. However, riders of Allosaurus tend to respect the utility of its Alpha pack status, which along with its bleed-inducing attacks and relative mobility, can effectively turn the tide of a combined arms battle.

- Spawns/merges in packs of 3+: highest level becomes Alpha with red-orange glow
- Alpha buffs (wild/tamed): +50% damage, -25% damage taken, Gore RMB attack, Roar command
