The Triceratops (try-SAIR-uh-tops), or simply Trike, is one of the many dinosaurs in ARK: Survival Evolved. They are a large, evolved ceratopsid herbivore and one of the last of their kind, and when they weren't peacefully browsing, used their deadly horns and shield frill against predators.

Aberrant Triceratops — Detailed Guide
The Aberrant Triceratops is the Aberration version of the Trike, the horned herbivore that many survivors tame first. It plays like the base Trike: a cheap, tough mount that defends itself with its horns and a ram charge.
Where to find it
It is a rare spawn on Aberration and Valguero in both games, plus Astraeos in ASA and Fjordur in ASE.
Taming
A knockout tame. It does not run, so a bow and tranquilizer arrows work well. Feed it berries or vegetables. The 
Trike Saddle unlocks at level 16.
Breeding
- Egg: hatches in about 2.5 hours at 22 to 28 °C.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 1.9 days at 1x.
Uses
Early defense and berry gathering. Its ram attack has a long cooldown, so use it to open a fight.
