More about taming the Onyc
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Onyc, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
The Onyc, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Flyer classification.
The Onyc has 250 base Health - relatively fragile. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Onyc has solid damage output. With 100 base Stamina, the Onyc has tires quickly. A base Weight of 50 means not built for hauling.
This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Raw Mutton.
As a tame, the Onyc is commonly used for scouting and quick travel between locations. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. A wild Onyc is worth 3 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.02 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
