Invertebrates

Overview

The Cnidaria (Nye-dare-e-ah) is a dangerous aquatic invertebrate in ARK: Survival Evolved. Resembling a large jellyfish, it possesses traits from many types of jellyfish - the size of egg-yolk jellies, the powerful sting of box jellies, and the bioluminescence of deep-sea jellies. Despite being an aggressive threat in the ocean, it is untameable and unbreedable. It drops valuable Bio Toxin which is essential for crafting Shocking Tranquilizer Darts.

Dossier

Wild

Cnidaria omnimorph is another example of a creature which should not exist. It has traits that seem derived from many types of jellyfish. It possesses the size and shape of large egg-yolk jellies, the powerful sting of certain box jellies, and the bioluminescence of deep-sea jellies. This all combines to make a dangerous creature that lights up the deepest reaches of the ocean. Cnidaria is not generally aggressive, because it lacks normal perceptive senses. It generally just floats along on the current until something gets close enough to sense, at which point it attacks. While its attacks are not directly powerful, its sting injects an incredibly strong and fast-acting sedative.
