More about taming the Morellatops
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Morellatops, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Morellatops. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Morellatops first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Quetzal can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Morellatops sedated throughout taming. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. With Torpor draining at 0.3/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Morellatops: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
The Morellatops is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Misc classification.
Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Morellatops sits at 400 base, making it decently sturdy. Stamina sits at 220 base, providing moderate endurance. A base Weight of 440 means generous inventory space.
The Morellatops is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Morellatops is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Morellatops is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.35 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
