Creature Guide
MammalsOverview
The Megaloceros (also called Stag or Elk) is a large mammal found in ARK: Survival Evolved. Resembling an Irish Elk or Giant Deer, this creature is known for its impressive antlers and skittish nature. Found primarily in snowy regions and redwood forests, it is a common prey for predators like Direwolves and Sabertooths. Once tamed, Megaloceros makes an excellent all-purpose mount with decent stats, speed, and the unique ability for males to cause bleeding damage with their charge attack.
Dossier
Wild
Megaloceros latuscoronam is a very skittish herbivore, found mostly in the forests and mountains of the Island. Because of its large size, its fraught demeanor would be strange in any other place. But Megaloceros knows how fierce the predators of the island are, and that it is safer to flee from them than to risk its life in a fight. The antlers of Megaloceros are very large, and make for an excellent source of keratin.
Domesticated
