Bio Toxin — Detailed Guide
One toxin, two names
This resource is called Biotoxin in ARK: Survival Ascended and 
Bio Toxin in ARK: Survival Evolved. It spoils, and it serves as a stronger stand-in for narcotics. Our records list the 
Cnidaria as the creature that drops it, and the ARK Wiki adds Spore-inducing Mushrooms on Aberration and Genesis: Part 2 as a second harvest source.
Torpor, darts and taming
- Keeping creatures down: fed to an unconscious creature in place of Narcoberries or
Narcotics, it adds 80 torpor over 16 seconds, more per item than either; the trade-off is that it spoils sooner. - Darts: at level 96 it goes into the
Shocking Tranquilizer Dart, which the ARK Wiki rates at twice the strength of a regular 
Tranquilizer Dart. Our ASE recipe for that dart calls for 3. - Passive taming: the
Archelon and the 
Electrophorus can be tamed with it. - Eaten by a survivor: it hurts health on top of the narcotic effect.
Harvesting map by map
The ARK Wiki gives these locations:
- Aberration: plentiful, from Cnidaria in the lakes of the blue bioluminescent zone and from Spore-inducing Mushrooms.
- Valguero: Cnidaria in The Lake and The Abyss, and mushrooms in The Emerald Forest.
- Genesis: Part 1: Cnidaria in The Ocean biome and the Poisonous Trees of the Toxic Mire in The Bog.
- Ragnarok: Cnidaria in the ocean around the map, though they stay away from the surface there, which makes flyers and rafts less useful.
- Fjordur: Cnidaria in the Ocean biome.
For the harvest itself the wiki suggests a 
Beelzebufo for small early amounts, a Spinosaurus, an Archelon or 
Basilosaurus, both of which shrug off the shocks, and as the most effective choice a 
Tusoteuthis, thanks to the area of its tentacle strike. An 
Iguanodon in its attack stance can gather it from the mushrooms on Aberration.
Spoilage and weight
It spoils in 45 minutes (2700 seconds), weighs 0.1 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 10. Being perishable, it cannot be imported on official servers, the ARK Wiki notes. Our records count 44 loot crate types that can contain it, for example Genesis Blue and Genesis Red on Genesis Part 2, and list it on 14 maps.
