First ever time I played ark, I chased one of these with my bare fists for 3 days (in ark). Got chased by pteranodons for thinking stealing their eggs was a good idea, got brutally beaten up by piranhas, chased by sarcos. Finally, after the poop machine ran into a rock, I knocked it out and tamed it. I then got a saddle and rode all the way across the map. We dodged every obstacle life faced together. Until a rex decided my purple guy (that’s what I named him) was a tasty snack, so I quit the game and started a new save. now I have a phioma eating rex- life’s weird….

I 100% guarantee you will find one getting chased in the swamps by a kapro, sarco or snake.

Yeah i was just chilling and i needed hide so i went to kill is it was some 300ish bro CMON ON AN EASY SEEVER ?

How many of us thought this was a pig? It's an elephant

Desmodus are able to pick these up!!!

I like these guys, they look quite cute, and I would tame one whenever I learn the engram for its saddle.

One wandered towards my campfire.

Hi phiomia, you under-evolved elephant.

They tend to poop quite a lot if something has frightened them as well…

Their hurt sounds are so genuine that it actually makes you wanna save one if you hear it getting chased. Sound-wise, Phiomias really know how to get you on their side!
