ARK Fantastic Tames Season 1

Expand your exotic menagerie with the first season of Fantastic Tames for ARK: Survival Ascended! These extraordinary oddities are forged from the ARK’s most mystical anomalies in defiance of nature.

Each Fantastic Tame brings its own wondrous array of abilities to your tribe, with Fantastic Tames Season 1 granting access to three new additions: the Burrowbuck, Cerberax, and Enigmasaur.

Burrowbuck (Available Now!)

Meet the Burrowbuck, a swift and evasive utility creature perfect for mastering map control, misdirection, and brilliant ambushes! Carve out hidden, bunker-like underground dens and open temporary gateway tunnels for rapid long-distance travel, giving prepared Survivors new ways to reposition, retreat, or spring a trap. When danger closes in, the Burrowbuck can kick up disorienting dust clouds and leave behind concealed hazards for enemies reckless enough to follow.

The Burrowbuck thrives on misdirection, making it an indispensable asset for your tribe's tactical superiority. Step into the unknown and outsmart your foes with this master of guerrilla warfare!

Cerberax (Q3 2026)

Behold the Cerberax, a monstrous frontline bruiser designed for heavy tribe combat and multi-rider synergy! This terrifying beast features three distinct heads that each bring their own vicious specialty to the fight, with each head individually controllable by either the main rider or up to three additional passengers. One head tears into enemy defenses with corrupting force, another scorches targets with relentless flame, while the central head acts as an electrical catalyst, detonating these afflictions and spreading the carnage to nearby targets. In the hands of a coordinated cooperative team, these effects can be chained, combined, and consumed to unleash explosive combo attacks.

Cerberax is the fearsome anchor your frontline needs to dominate the battlefield. Lead the charge and watch your enemies crumble!

Enigmasaur (Q4 2026)

Shrouded in secrecy and whispered about in passing rumors, the Enigmasaur is an enigmatic master of disguise. This mysterious entity possesses the incredible ability to store the form of any nearby creature after observing it from the shadows, allowing you to transform into the other creature at-will. Once hidden within a new shape, the Enigmasaur gains all of that creature's unique abilities. Capable of hoarding a handful of stolen forms simultaneously, the Enigmasaur is a highly rewarding tame that allows cunning Survivors to master the unknown and adapt to any situation. Mimic the power of the ARK's diverse roster and strike when they least expect it!

Tunnel through the earth, tear through the front lines using multi-headed attacks, or mimic stolen creature-forms with ARK Fantastic Tames Season 1!
