Megalania Toxin

A boss tribute from the Megalania

Megalania Toxin is a resource in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended that players offer as tribute when summoning bosses. Its item text frames it as a hunting prize: "This trophy proves your worth as a hunter." Our records name two creatures that drop it, the Megalania and the Aberrant Megalania.

Getting the toxin

According to the ARK Wiki, the toxin sits in the inventory of a Megalania once it has been killed or tranquilized. If the body is harvested before its inventory is opened, or another predator eats it, the toxin is left in a bag on the ground. Newborn Megalania babies and newly tamed adults carry 2 Megalania Toxin as well.

Each time a Megalania is knocked out again, another 2 toxin appear in its inventory. That makes it possible to farm the toxin: knock the creature out over and over and take the toxin before it wakes.
