Finally, a kind of sloth so I can tame up the ice age characters, got Manny, got Diego, and now I have Sid
739 points   Utility  
350% melee = 1000 chitin per arthropleura, 500 per scorpion, 400 per spider. THE MACHINE
340 points   Taming & KO  
MEGATHERIUM: Sound Triggered? Towards Insects, hell yeah. The Dododex doesn't show this yet, but these things Ark Devs call Giant Sloths are the No.2 Producer of Chitin and Keratin. You never have to worry about Cementing Paste Again!

14 of these, three Yutyrannusses and 3 Daeodons can and will kill The Broodmother on every difficulty
184 points   Encountering  
There's a reason it's ranked 7th best melee in the game, run.
139 points   Encountering  
If you or anything you have with you is carrying chitin they will attack you
118 points   Taming & KO  
Giant bee honey seems to work well for taming. They can be picked up by wyverns.
115 points   Utility  
Use this beast to hit the burnt trees in Ragnarok to harvest tons of charcoal! Best way to make gunpowder!
95 points   Utility  
Absolute godsend for meat runs in caves. Only things that'll aggro up on it are Pirhana, Megalania and (presumably) Megalosaurus. Otherwise, everything else (including Arthropleura and Sarcos) won't aggro. Have at 'em!
