Encountering Tips

How do I kill a ovis? ovis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
FOR ALL MOBILE PLAYERS
These are not in mobile don’t waste time trying to find them.
Extremely rare. Best place to find these is in the stomach of another dino
They sound like mincraft sheep.
Seem to be found mostly in the snow. Quite rare, but definitely worth dropping what your doing if you find one.
Just found a black female ovis by (80,85) on lost island. Didn't think they were on this map a pleasant surprise.
Sigh..... all those ragnorok players with their ovis’s. Why are so rare on the island?
The frist time I saw mine, I was on the edge of the redwood forest near a small stream. I picked it up with my Argent, so if you want to take it home and save it for breeding or tame meat that's the way too go.
MONSTER LOG
Ovis
Behavior: Passive
The Ovis is a sheep primarily in the NE zone of Ragnarok. Wild, Ovis are a great mutton source for taming creatures, such as the Giga. Besides that they have no use wild. Tamed, they are a good source of wool, it’s really just pelt but easier to get. All you need are scissors. They can also be ridden as a battle mount or a joke, preferably battle mount. And best of all, they are the best non-shoulder mount companion in the ARK, and they have a part time job as a pillow. The Ovis is one of the most valuable creatures in the ARK. Do not take it for granted.
HOW TO TAME
You will need: Sweet Vegetable Cake
First, Find it in the NE zone
Lastly, feed it cake
Easy as pie. And here’s a note from are sponsors
I am Commander Ovis! Do not kill these bundles of joy! Or I shall have your head at once! If you do find a godly sheep, FEED IT’S DESIRED FOOD, CAKE!!! If you choose not too, Commander Ovis and his army of the toughest sheep, shall destroy you beach bob hut! That is all I shall tell you now. So stay in you place and bow to the Ovis gods!
-Commander Ovis
So, one day I was out on my mantis, looking for bee hives. It was a nice day, Brontos we're killing rexes, Tek raptors we're killing Zebra horses (equus) all was good. Until I saw what I thought was a huge egg, but when I used my spyglass.. it was an Ovis! I had some veggie cakes and fed it, and it was tame. It was fairly good for Ovis standards at least, but less than 5 minutes later a rex comes through and attacked my mantis. My mantis killed it in 4 hits but apparently hit a female Bronto with a mate. The Brontos attacked, killed my Ovis that I didn't even have for 5 minutes, got my mantis down to 100 health, and nearly killed me. I was able to ride away but I'm pissed about my Ovis :(
Ovis when i need mutton: Adios
Ovis when im content and dont need them: Adios
Thats It. No punchline. their just that rare.
These things should have a higher spawn rate. The second they spawn in try are immediately eaten by a carno or something. And it would be cool if they spawned in groups of 2-4
Mutton mutton, who's got the mutton?!
Valguero, Chalk Hills, about 73/75.
As many as you'll ever need
Very rare on the island but they spawn in the red woods and snow biom
They are found a lot around the snowy mountain. Don't listen to the map, they are more common where it says 'very rare.'
Valguero has a lot of ovis spawning, especially at white cliffs, it is a custom ark. You can get four of these to increase breeding, or as many as you like. Good luck, they eat veggie cakes cause they vegetarian.
If you put an Ovis in a cryopod it takes off their wool and you won’t be able to shear it after releasing. You will have to wait until it grows back. So always shear them before putting them in a cryopod.
GO TO HIGHLANDS FOR THESE! Very common there! I found 3 clumped together they were all level 150+ easy tames. Make sure to mate and boom build a farm for wool/pelt or mutton. Worth the grind!
I have found 3 of them around the north beach on the island. So cute.
Is it just me or the way it smiles is creepy?
Mainly found in highlands around rivers.
