Dossier
In the wild
Ceratosaurus punctura is an extremely aggressive carnivore that attacks on sight. Its distinctive horn is used to deliver devastating piercing blows, and its venom spines can inject a potent neurotoxin. It is particularly relentless in pursuit and will chase prey over great distances without giving up.
Once tamed
Taming a Ceratosaurus requires crafting a special Hemogoblin Cocktail from its own venom spines, then inducing a 'blood drunk' state. Once tamed, it is a powerful mid-tier predator with potent venom attacks that can debilitate enemies and accelerate harvesting of certain organic resources. It is among the newer additions to ARK: Survival Ascended.
