Overview

Ferox

The Ferox is a unique shapeshifting creature in ARK: Survival Evolved, added in Genesis: Part 1. In its small form, it resembles a cute Jerboa-like creature that can be carried on your shoulder. When fed Element, it transforms into a powerful giant wolf-like beast that can be ridden. This ability to switch between forms makes it one of the most versatile mounts in the game.
