Bronto Bone Costume

A skeleton look for a Brontosaurus

The Bronto Bone Costume is a cosmetic skin in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Put on a tamed Brontosaurus, it gives the creature a skeletal appearance; the game's own line is "This costume can be used to make your Bronto look just like a skeleton! Spoopy!"

Hunting Skeletal Brontos during Fear Evolved and Fear Ascended

The ARK Wiki names Skeletal Brontos as the creatures that drop it during the ARK: Fear Evolved and ARK: Fear Ascended events. They appear at random around The Island, about as rarely as Alpha Predators, and killing and looting one gives the costume. A few points from the wiki help with the search:

• Their size and odd look make them easy to see from a distance.
• Clearing out the other creatures you meet frees room for more spawns, which raises the chance of finding one.
• Apart from the rare spawns and the look, their stats look no different from those of ordinary Brontos.

A costume obtained this way stays with you once the event is over.

Other ways to get it

During the ARK: ARKaeology event the costume can also be crafted in a Cooking Pot. In ASE there is an achievement route as well: completing the Professional Explorer Achievement unlocks the skin, and from then on it is in your inventory each time you respawn.
