Mammoth
Creature Guide
MammalsOverview
The Mammoth (Woolly Mammoth) is a large, furry mammal in ARK: Survival Evolved. Found in colder areas like mountain sides, these herd animals are relatively slow but powerful. They can gather Thatch, uproot trees without shattering them, and use their trunks to carry survivors and smaller creatures. Excellent for wood and thatch gathering, and can be equipped with war drums for tribe buffs.

Domesticated
Mammuthus steincaput is a difficult beast to domesticate. Not because they are inherently stubborn, but because knocking one out to begin the taming process takes great effort. Once tamed, however, Mammoths are one of the only creatures on the island that can uproot trees without shattering them, and their trunks are strong enough to lift and carry survivors and other smaller creatures. The more clever riders have been outfitting their mammoth saddles with war drums. Drum solos from mammothback can really boost your tribemates
