Trike Bone Costume

A skeleton look for your Triceratops

The Trike Bone Costume is a cosmetic for a tamed Triceratops, found in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Once applied, the creature takes on the look of a skeleton, which the game's own text puts with a wink: "This costume can be used to make your Trike look just like a skeleton! Spoopy!" The wiki ties it to three events, ARK: Fear Ascended, ARK: Fear Evolved and ARK: ARKaeology, and gives 221.0 as the version that added it.

Hunting Skeletal Trikes

During Fear Evolved and Fear Ascended, Skeletal Trikes appear at random on The Island. The ARK Wiki compares their rarity to that of Alpha Predators; kill and loot one and the costume is yours. Apart from their looks and how seldom they show up, they seem to share the stats of a normal Trike. Clearing out other creatures you meet along the way frees room for new spawns, which raises the odds of running into one.

Our records list two loot sources: the Skeletal Trike itself and the Candy Corn B crate of the Fear Evolved Event.

Other routes to the costume

During the ARKaeology event the costume can instead be crafted in a Cooking Pot. ASE adds a third route: completing the Veteran Explorer Achievement unlocks the skin, and from then on it sits in your inventory each time you respawn. Whichever way you get it, the costume stays with you once the event is over.
