Scarecrow — Detailed Guide
A Fear Evolved decoration
The Scarecrow is a placeable Halloween decoration found in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its in-game text reads: "Decorate your base with this scarecrow. Guaranteed to scare the crows away." The ARK Wiki says it only turns up while the ARK: Fear Evolved event is running, and it dates the item to patch 221.0.
Picking one up during the event
While you are out on the terrain during the event, a Scarecrow can appear right in front of you inside a cloud of fog. Pressing E gathers it. The wiki also notes a yield of between 1 and 10 
Stolen Headstones when you gather it. In our loot data a single source can contain the Scarecrow: the 
DodoRex and 
Dodo Wyvern loot.
Emotes, decoration and paint
Besides standing in a base as decoration, the Scarecrow is a crafting ingredient. Our records show five emotes that each take 20 Scarecrows, and the ARK Wiki says these are made in a 
Cooking Pot. The wiki names them as the 
Zombie Emote, 
Scare Emote, 
Knock Emote, 
Panic Emote and Dance Emote. During the first Fear Evolved event, Scarecrows could also be offered at the 
Obelisks to summon a 
Witch Hat Skin.
The wiki lists six paint regions: pumpkin head, cloth, sticks, rope, belly and pumpkin stem.
Weight, damage and maps
A Scarecrow weighs 0.5 and they stack to 100; a full stack of 100 weighs 50. It counts as a thatch structure, and every kind of attack can hurt it apart from ranged attacks that do not explode. Our records list it on 14 maps, among them The Island, Scorched Earth, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2.
