What is a araneo used for? araneo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
(Mobile) After tame: Abysmal speed, health, and weight, 10 damage on main attack that does 10 torpor per 10 secs, stacks for a maximum of 2 times for 20 torpor over 20 secs...honestly, what is the point of taming this? Just like the Pachy(again, mobile), there is literally nothing that this creature can do that others can't do better. Invisible glitch? Get a scorpion. Better torpor? Scorpion. pvp? Arthropluera, which is somehow easier to tame than this spider. (lv 150 takes 2 spoiled meat with 10× soothing balm when spider takes 6-7.) Web attack? If you can do a cave run easily, what do you need that for?? Besides, dilos can do slow too. Again, before you attempt to tame one, think about why you want it in the first place. *Stares at newly tamed lv 224 araneo* Useless.
ARK! I hope ark devs see this. Anyway to the point. Araneos need to take bubbles of air down with them when they go underwater! In real life spiders will carry air bubbles down with them on their tiny hairs on their body. This way they can breathe up to four hours. Depending on body size in air amounts. Anyway do you think we could see some of the bubbles and as a rider breathe from them too? I’d like this as a realistic update and not for fun. You wonder why that one spider never dies when you try to drown it in the toilet? It’s a fish. A fishspider. A hairy brown fanged fish. Vote up so devs see this and we get us some fishspiders!

Kinda wish these guys had a turret mode for the webs. Prettyuch be free plants you don't have to fertilize. To compensate though I just tamed a few high level dimorphodons to follow it, waited it down with stone so it couldn't move, and set it on aggressive with the highest radius. Set dimorphodons on attack my target and boom. Free turret.
Not exactly the best combat mount, slow, stamina isn't the best, a little squishy. But a few high levels of these on base defence are pretty good. Put a few in the inner parts of your base (along with the centipedes to wreck enemies armour) and the will have your enemies tangled up in seconds!
