Creature Guide
FishOverview
The Dunkleosteus (also called Dunk, Dunkly) is a massive armoured fish in ARK: Survival Evolved, famous for its powerful jaws and ability to harvest Oil and Stone from the ocean floor. This territorial predator is slightly larger than a Megalodon and makes an excellent underwater mount for coastal communities. Its bone-plated jaws can crush through rocks and chitin with ease.

Domesticated
Dunkleosteus is an incredibly useful fish for coastal communities. Its powerful jaws make short work of the stone and oil formations found throughout the oceanic depths. While harvesting, Dunkleosteus can defend its rider from all but the largest threats in the waters. And once it is past its prime, the Dunkleosteus itself can be harvested for a fair amount of chitin.
