The Tusoteuthis is a massive prehistoric squid-like creature found in the oceans of ARK. It is one of the largest aquatic tamed creatures and can carry massive amounts of resources.

Dossier

Wild

Tusoteuthis longa is an enormous cephalopod that dominates the deep waters of the Island. Its tentacles can crush almost anything in its grasp, and its beak is capable of delivering devastating bites. It seems to be an ambush predator, lying in wait for prey to swim by.

Domesticated

Once tamed, Tusoteuthis becomes an invaluable asset foræµ·æ´‹ resource gathering. Its massive size allows it to carry enormous quantities of resources, and its ability to harvest Oil from depths other creatures cannot reach makes it essential for late-game progression.
