Trilobite

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Trilobite in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You can tame in aberration with fish basket!!!!!
This is probably the most unfinished creature as it has unused saddle and costume slots and enable/disable mating option. The food I offered to a force tamed one was kibble (I used basic for it), so you can feed it that. The only purpose for having one would be to have a weird…

Kill them, they’ll give you late game Resources like Silica Perl’s black Perl’s and oil.
You can pick them up with a Kapro
I found tons of them in Midgard, 14/94
Tame a Moschops and harvest these for 100 or so Chitin.
They are only tameable on aberration. You can’t tame on mobile or switch but you can on PC, PS4 and/or Xbox. You tame with a. Fish bascket
Reminder that oil, silica pearls, and black pearls only have a chance to drop from these guys, instead of the normal "harvest it with a high damage per swing weapon"
also they only drop one of either at a time so not recommended for farming black pearls with
These guys have infinite weight and decent health. They are basically a portable vault!
Battling this monster you might need your dodo to help you . Harvest with hatched
On Aberration they are great for oil. Craft when you can a chainsaw! Harvest far more oil than any tame or weapon.
I have hundreds of chitin silca pearls and some black pearls go to beach farm these if you can't go ocean yet
West zone one waters have them in mobile mostly in the stream that ties to the ocean
If you spot one of these when 2x is active stop and kill it. High levels give 100 chitin, Oil, S pearls & B pearls.
You can find them on land next to an ocean & in shallow water. Where there's 1 their is usually a few more around aswell.
If you need to find them go to the Main land Beach oposite "herbivore island" near one of the caves.
Like the Parasaur of the sea...
Best way to farm chitin from these guys: use a moschops. The moschops can collect around 200 chitin for one trilobite where as using an axe will give you around 80. Only downside, moschops can't get pearls or black pearls from them, so you'll have to collect those another way.
If you see one kill it can immediately so you can get oil, chitin, and pearls
They give a lot of chitin, some pearls and a bit of oil
