Encountering Tips
How do I kill a dung beetle? dung beetle battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
You can find these on the center of Extinction, sometimes nearby the swamp area.
In Genesis they are also roaming around the swamp.
Can easily be mistaken as an araneo from afar, be sure to check before you shoot if you plan on taming one of these!
It usually found in caves, in the easy south cave is one of the best locations to tame them
An easy area to find the dung beetles is the south cave.
Tip for fjordur:
Can be found in the dung beatle cave in the red woods located at 25.1 LAT and 93.1 LON. It's just a small little cave full of these little fertilizer machines.
ON lost island u can find them on swamp beaches
How do they have so much health for such a small thing
My dung ate my newly hatched sarco. Devastated.
They’re sure cute and knock out well with large poops ~ anxious St0ner
For those people playing mobile,
These aren’t only in dungeons, they are also found in the south cave AND lava cave! Trust me, I’ve seen them in there. The ones in caves usually want spoiled meat, but I’ve done passive tames and if it says, for example, (on a diplo) “feed azulberry to tame” you don’t have to. You can give it kibble instead. So I guess you can give dung beetles poo if they want spoiled meat. Raw meat also works to tame them. Oh, and have yourselves a good day with beetles! (Sorry it was long.)

the dodo of the caves
Found in blue on abberation. They are also on the natural tamp that leads down to it if you want to go there.
I was in a cave trying to tame a megalosaurus And a arenao came out of no where I was attacking it I
Accidentally hit a dung beetle and it started attacking me
they attack when you hit them, but they usually don’t have much health nor melee- just stab it with a spear or whatever you have. they’re great tames so there’s really no point to kill them, tho.
good luck survivors <3 !
Often Seen Near Green Obelisk on Extinction. On the path beside the Canyon.
Humans can carry this but not a Kaprosuchus. How dare u!
Me:Where is South???????
All the people playing ark: huh how
Truly the most horrifying creature on the ark.
I had one of these little buggers agro and attack a unconscious argentavis
If ur trying to get lvls on one of ur dinosaurs like I was and find one of the them I suggest don’t fight them cas it demolishes ur amour even if ur on ur mount.
