The Stegosaurus (STEG-uh-SAWR-us) or Stego is one of the dinosaurs 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 Stegosaurus regium has approximately 16 paired rows of plates along its back, flanked by another, smaller pair of 6 plates. This is contrary to the alternating rows of Stegosaurus fossils I've seen in museums. I've encountered Stegosaurus, in varying amounts, almost everywhere on the Island. Not surprisingly, Stegosaurus uses the spines on its tail to defend itself. While not aggressive, Stegosaurus will come to the aid of another nearby Stegosaurus. This implies it to be a herd animal. Domesticated Stegosaurus is commonly used as a safe way to transport large quantities of goods. The plates on its back double as a cover against the arrows of attackers. It is capable of knocking back enemies with its large swinging tail, keeping the predator at a distance long enough for the rest of the tribe to provide backup. Its spiked appendage also helps it gather wild berries in large quantities.	„
		~ Helena

Behavior

While not aggressive by default, Stegosaurus will attack by swinging their spiked tails when provoked. Caution is advised when hunting them. They are also herding animals, coming to the aid of others when attacked.

Appearance

The Stegosaurus appears as a large quadrupedal herbivore with distinctive plates on its back, which are often vibrantly colored. The dinosaur also possesses 3 pairs of spikes on the end of its long tail, and has a small head tipped with a beak as well as a few grinding teeth.

Color Scheme and Regions

This section displays the Stegosaurus's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Stegosaurus. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Stegosaurus 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 Stegosaurus's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID> in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6 would color the Stegosaurus's "body" magenta.

Region 0: Body	Region 1: Spine	Region 2: Plate/Spike Base
Region 3: Back	Region 4: Plate Edge and Spike Tips	Region 5: Belly

Region 0: Inner Body	Region 1: Spine	Region 2: Body
Region 3: Legs and Head	Region 4: Leg Tops and Spike Plate	Region 5: Emissive and Spike Tops

Tek Stegosaurus (Variant)

The Tek Stegosaurus is a creature that was permanently added to the game in the Extinction Chronicles II event. It is a unique alternate of the original Stegosaurus, and is purely made of Tek. Unlike the original, they spawn at a 5% rate at a 20% higher level than usual.

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.

Stegosaurus

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

For general infos about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.

KO Strategy

Stegosaurus are slow but powerful, kite them from a considerable distance. A slingshot's limited range and low damage may be insufficient for low level players to succeed unless the beast is trapped. Tranq arrows or darts will allow you to stay further away from the beast and achieve a faster KO with much less risk.

Combat

This section describes how to fight against the Stegosaurus.

General

Stegos are herd animals that are incredibly slow but hit quite hard and have hefty knock-back. Watch yourself around cliffs or just near slopes as a single hit can send you flying to your grave.

Strategy

Stegos are very slow and can be peppered with most ranged weapons to death with little issue. Keep your distance and hammer away but watch your position and don't get cornered or surrounded as that can quickly lead to an early grave. If your movement speed is high enough you should be able to dart forward with a pike or spear and dart back before the stego can react properly however this is very risky and should only really be used on low level or lone dinos.

Weaponry

Ranged weapons are greatly preferred, a bow should prove sufficient. Keep away and only engage in melee to finish it if the dino is very low on health and can be finished off swiftly.

Dangers

The most dangerous aspect of the Stegosaurus is its knockback. Their damage is nothing to sneeze at but their knock-back can quickly turn an easy fight into a foolish death. It should be noted non-mounted dinos are immune to fall damage and thusly have little to fear other than getting mobbed by a herd.Play carefully and the Stego will fall easily. Also take care not to engage in fights you cannot win, either through lack of ammo or sheer number of enemies.

Weakness

The slow movement speed of the Stego is its ultimate weakness. Engage from range or with a meat-shield in the form of a Dilo, Raptor, or other dino. If slowed by any means, the Stego's movement speed is laughable.

Utility

Roles

• Gatherer: Stegosaurs are very good at gathering berries, decent with thatch, and not recommended for wood (Level up Melee Damage).
• Transport: Able to carry a great deal of weight and with high health, Stegosaurs make for great pack animals (Level up Weight, Speed, and Stamina).
• Travel: Stegosaurus makes for a strong, albeit slow, mount (Level up Speed and Stamina).
• Tank: Stegosaurus has a pretty high base damage and knockback which makes it good for fighting multiple enemies smaller than itself (Level up Health, Melee Damage, and some Speed).

• Boss Killer: The stegosaurus, if well-bred, is a useful tool against the boss of Aberration. It is favored by many tribes since no Rex are on this map, it can dish out a decent amount of damage and can be healed easily through vegetable cakes.
• Damage:
• War Mount:A tamed Stegosaurus with a mount and full stamina is basically invincible, as they can deliver damage without touching their opponent, allowing you to take on powerful creatures like Spinosaurus and Paraceratherium and come out unharmed. The only disadvantage is their attack range may strike unintended targets, destroying your tame efforts and starting unnecessary fights with other animals.
• PvP Turret Soaker: Stegos received a recent buff where the armor plates that protect the rider reduce the damage of projectiles such as arrows and bullets by a significant amount. If angled correctly against opposing Auto Turrets the Stego can soak more bullets than even a Bronto. This tactic will require a lot of practice and can't be used in every situation but the rewards are plentiful to any tribe that can utilize this niche to its maximum effectiveness. (Level up Health.)

Notes/Trivia

For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Stegosaurus, see the relevant Wikipedia article.

• Can be very effective at harvesting berries from Plants by swiping its tail across the ground.
• Can also harvest small amounts of Wood and Thatch.
• Cannot harvest Fiber.
• Although Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus are often depicted as living alongside each other, a large time gap separates both species. Coexistence between humans and a T. rex would be more accurate because of the shorter time gap.
• The spiked arrangement on the end of a Stegosaurus' tail is called a thagomizer. The word, unlike many scientific terms, was coined in 1982 by cartoonist Gary Larson, in his comic The Far Side, and said to be named after the late Thag Simmons. The name was eventually picked up 11 years later by Ken Carpenter, and has gradually been adopted as an informal anatomical term, even used by the Smithsonian Institution.
• If judged by its Brain-to-body mass ratio Stegosaurus might possibly be the dumbest dinosaur in terms of intelligence.
• Can be picked up by a Quetzal or a Wyvern.
• Don't be fooled into expecting it to be faster than the Bronto; it may seem that way, being smaller, but its sprint is actually barely half as fast as the larger dino.
• The name "Stegosaurus Regium" roughly translates into "Reflective Roof Lizard".
• Real Stegosaurus were social dinosaurs that lived in herds, Ark's Stegosaurus can be found in some groups but can also be found on their own.
• Stegosaurus is a relatively easy tame that can deem you invincible against powerful single opponents. Their ability to deal damage without even touching the enemy allows them to effortlessly kill dangerous creatures like Spinosaurus and Paraceratherium, as long as their stamina is high.
