Overview

The Bloodstalker is an bizarre arthropod creature found in ARK: Survival Evolved

Dossier

Wild

The Bloodstalker is an aggressive creature, often found perched under ceilings, walls, caves and trees. It grapples its prey by reeling them in with its long-ranged web shot, then seizes them and drains their blood by impaling them with its siphon-like feet. Almost all creatures its size or smaller are susceptible to this grapple attack - including the player.

Domesticated

A tamed Bloodstalker is one of the fastest creatures in the game, able to swim, climb, and swing from tree to tree at high speeds. It also has great aerial control, being capable of parachuting and performing mid-air jumps. It can grant its rider enhanced vision and is excellent for taming other creatures.
