Creature Guide
Fantasy CreaturesOverview
The Reaper (also known as Xenomorph) is a terrifying apex predator in ARK: Survival Evolved
Dossier
Wild
At home in the cavern
Domesticated
If impregnated by a female Reaper, I strongly urge that the survivor kill the embryo via exposure to radiation. However, there are rumors that Reapers might imprint themselves on a survivor who possesses a Reaper pheromone gland. This has led some mad survivors with dreams of riding on the back of a Reaper to try seeing the gestation period through to the end.
