Raptor Bone Costume

Bones for a Raptor

The Raptor Bone Costume gives a Raptor the look of a skeleton. It is in our database for ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK: Survival Evolved, with the in-game description "This costume can be used to make your Raptor look just like a skeleton! Spoopy!" The ARK Wiki says it is put on a tamed Raptor, and it names 221.0 as the version that added it.

Hunting Skeletal Raptors in the Fear events

During the ARK: Fear Evolved and ARK: Fear Ascended events, Alpha Raptors spawn with a skeletal look, and killing and looting one gives the costume. The wiki reminds players that these Skeletal Raptors are Alphas, so it pays to come prepared. It also suggests killing other creatures met along the way: that frees room for new spawns and improves the chance of running into one. The costume stays with the player after the event ends.

Our records list 2 crate types that can contain it, the Candy Corn B crate from the Fear Evolved event and the Skeletal Alpha Raptor, and link the drop to several Raptor variants, for example the Alpha Raptor, the Tek Raptor and the Corrupted Raptor.

Crafting and the achievement route

The ARK: ARKaeology event gives a second route: while it runs, the costume is made in a Cooking Pot. ASE adds another option. Completing the Experienced Explorer Achievement unlocks the skin, and from then on it is in the inventory at every respawn.

Maps and weight

Our records place it on 6 maps: Valguero, Ragnarok, The Island, The Center, Scorched Earth and Extinction. It weighs 0 and has a stack size of 1.
