Hint: Don't jump and get stuck between their claws when they are knocked out, then you can't move. I learned that from experience.

You can’t breed them on mobile.

Sting any creature that’s attacking to turn them passive

To The guy who said don’t jump in-between their claws, I should of had listened to you

I don't know why the guy saying they're not affected by Bolas is at the top. I just hit a level 5 wild in the mountain area with a bola right in the legs and it froze in place perfectly, no issues. BOLAS WORK, BUT YOU HAVE TO HIT THE LEGS, THE THIN SKITTERY EASY TO MISS LEGS.

In my opinion, these guys are the best, go on, say i am weird.

First, they are very easy to tame, all you need is a few spoiled meats and a bola, tranq arrows or even slingshots will do.

Second, after they are tamed, they are super useful, you can use them for cheap creature knock-outs, plus, if you tamed one in a cave, then use it for exploration, nothing in the cave can pick on you, making it easy to get to the artifacts.

Third, they are super easy to care for, they eat spoiled meat as well, so if a stack of meat spoils in its inventory, it will still eat them.

They have decent speed, stamina and melee damage, and can cross over tough terrain that most dinosaurs can’t.

Plus cool

Do not listen to the person who said you won’t be noticed by a carnivore RIP scorpes

Best bet is to Bola the scorpion then shoot with tranq arrows. Best of luck, have fun 😊

When I was a fresh noob to ark I'd tame 3 scorps. I'd ride one and have the other 2 set to follow and there wasn't anything that could stop us

Ok these guys need a TLC patch.

First patch: being able to choose to use its tail for less damage but more torpor, or use its claws for more damage but no torpor.

Second new ability: grabbing a small Dino with its claws only being able to use its tail for attacking while picking up a Dino. Perfect for taming!

The higher the melee damage, the higher the torpor. Also upgrade movement speed so it can close the gap

284 points   🔧 Utility   Nov 15, 2020   Report

This is less of a tip and more of a question, but if I level up a pulmonascorpias melee damage will it increase the torpor???

477 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Dec 17, 2016   Report

Single stack meat in your inventory to get the spoiled meat to tame faster.

Thorny dragon or Pulmonoscorpious. Which is better?

Thornys and scorpions are some of the only nock-out tames in the game. They both deal a good amount of torpor, but which is better to knock?

Using the stats of a lvl 1 equs, dodoex says that it will take 10 stings from a scorpion or 105 thorny needles from a base lvl to knock a lvl 1 equs. It might seem that the thorny dragon is immediately disqualified, but hold on a second. The thorny shoots 10 quills at a time, so if we divide 105 by 10 we get 10.5, meaning you will need to get almost eleven full hits to knock out. Taking in account that is is hard to get full hits, the number of shots you need to take is much greater than a pulmo. Thus the pulmo is the best out of the two! Thx for reading!

They're very slow so it's easy to kill them with a bow. You can also stab them with a pike or a spear while walking backwards without getting hit.

Bola it, shoot it in the head with tranq darts, feed it spoiled meat! A very effective and easy tame. Be careful though, they're hard to see in grassy areas. I was taming a sabertooth once when it came up out of nowhere, I went unconscious before I could even run away. It took me 5 tries to get my stuff back from my dead body because the scorpian was always there. In the end, surpinsgly, my sabertooth survived the taming process and I ended up taming the scorpian right after!

Do not pet a snip snap dog. It will snip snap. A lot.

You can most definitely breed these on the new ark, not sure about the old one

Level you fortitude, it'll allow you to take more torpor before being knocked, trust me, a few boosts and you'll see the difference, I know it's a stat alot of people dont like boosting, but it really helps for caves and stuff. It also raises your hyperthermic and hypothermic, meaning you dont get as hot or as cold.

When using these to knockout a dino, you have to attack in roughly 5-8 second intervals. The scorpion applies torpor as a debuff which rises over time, so if you spam attack, you'll most likely kill your target with damage before the torpor gets high enough.
