The Liopleurodon (Lie-oh-ploor-oh-don) is one of the Creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Basic Info
Dossier
This section is intended to be an exact copy of what the survivor Helena Walker, the author of the dossiers, has written. There may be some discrepancies between this text and the in-game creature.
- Wild
Liopleurodon magicus is a mid-sized ocean creature, typically between 20 and 25 feet long. I've yet to directly encounter one myself, but from the tales other tribes have shared, it compares to no other on the Island. The rumors indicate that this beautiful creature has magical properties; however, the sightings are so rare it's hard to decipher old tribe's tales from the underlying truth. They say that Liopleurodon is an elusive creature that can harness its magical powers to retreat from predators or aggressors of any kind, but the Beekeeping tribes claim that their honey is so sweet, not even the Liopleurodon could resist!
- Domesticated
Liopleurodon is rumored to bring good fortune to those adventurous enough to tame it. With the Liopleurodon by their side, tribes have apparently managed to obtain treasure beyond their wildest dreams. Supposedly, even after you've gained its favor, it remains incredibly aloof and will eventually use its abilities to escape even the strictest of captivity.
Behavior
As it says in the dossier "it mostly hides within the reefs, waiting to ambush prey that swims by." The Liopleurodon swims around until attacked by a player or creature, at which point it will spin around and vanish, never to be seen again.
Appearance
The Liopleurodon appears as a crocodile-like reptile, with two sets of fins and a short tail. It is a pliosaur, a short-necked, large-headed type of Plesiosaur, making it closely related to the deep water Plesiosaurs. It also possesses a single long barbel on its chin to detect the presence of prey swimming past its ambush lair.
This section displays the Liopleurodon's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Liopleurodon. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Liopleurodon will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.
This information can be used to alter the Liopleurodon's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID> in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6 would color the Liopleurodon's "face, sides, and flipper highlights" magenta.

Wild Stats Level-up
Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you can try to recover the breeding stats with an external tool.[1]
The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps
Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.
Taming
The Liopleurodon is a passive tame. It only eats Giant Bee Honey. It is a temporary tame, it will stay tamed for 30 minutes. At the end of the 30 minutes, the Liopleurodon disappears.
On The Center the Liopleurodon has been found in the deepest parts of the trench.

Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Liopleurodon.
General
The Liopleurodon is a passive creature and will not attack you but will attack when mounted.
Strategy
Weaponry
Anything but as soon as it receives damage the Liopleurodon will teleport away.
Dangers
The Liopleurodon itself doesn't impose any danger. However, the surrounding water could be inhabited by predators.
Weakness
Low speed and turning radius. It is not meant for battle.
Utility
- Loot Booster: Riding a Liopleurodon increases the rarity and value of any lootbox you open (Deep Sea Loot Crates and underwater Beacons). This effect lasts 30 minutes, then, the Liopleurodon will disappear.
- Testing has shown that a lootbox that usually contains hide clothes contained a Rocket Launcher during the loot buff.
Spotlight
Notes/Trivia
For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Liopleurodon, see the relevant Wikipedia article.
- The Dossier was revealed on 17. July 2015 [2]\
- The name and elements of the Dossier, such as 'The species on the island almost seem to be magical', Liopleurodon will show you the way' and 'those who don't believe in the Liopleurodons' qualities are shunned' are most likely references to the popular viral video 'Charlie the Unicorn', which features a magical Liopleurodon that guides the way.[3]
- Liopleurodon means "smooth sided tooth".
- Currently, Liopleurodon does not give you an oxygen buff, contrary to the dossier.
- Like Basilosaurus, Liopleurodon is immune to being stunned by Cnidaria.
