Large Taxidermy Base — Detailed Guide
A stand for a harvested dermis
The Large Taxidermy Base is a display structure in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and its in-game line is short: "Place a harvested dermis to show off your prowess!" A creature's 
Dermis set on the base becomes a stuffed display. For certain creatures, saddles and costumes can be added to the mount for show. To change the pose, hold the action button and pick the next or previous one.
The structure first appeared with the Extinction DLC. The ARK Wiki lists Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis: Part 2 as further maps where it is available.
Crafting it from the inventory
The engram unlocks at level 32 for 4 engram points. The ARK Wiki says the base can only be crafted in the inventory, and the material list is long:
- 1250
Thatch - 1000
Wood (
Fungal Wood also works) - 250
Stone - 50
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot)
With that much material carried in the survivor's own inventory, the wiki adds that only players with a high weight capacity can make one. Crafting takes 5 seconds and gives 25 XP.
Weight and crates
Each base weighs 30, and with a stack size of 100 a full stack weighs 3000. Our records count 81 crate types that can contain one, including the Genesis Blue, Genesis Purple and Genesis Red crates on Genesis Part 2.
