The Scrap Elemental is a massive, mineral-consuming variant creature. It reduces the weight of gathered resources in its inventory, making it ideal for resource transport. It excels at harvesting a wide variety of materials efficiently while ridden. The Scrap Elemental can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

Tame the Scrap Elemental using the knockout method. The best food is Sulfur, with Clay also working but less effectively. Use ranged weapons like the Bow, Crossbow, or Fabricated Sniper Rifle with Tranq Arrows or Tranquilizer Darts to sedate it. Expect around 503 minutes of taming time using Sulfur. Use the calculator below for your settings.
