The Beelzebufo (bee-el-zeh-boo-fo) is one of the creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is

found in the Swamp Biome and when ridden is a fast mover (especially under water) with
the ability to make very high/long-distance jumps (second only to the   Procoptodon).
Beelzebufos also naturally create   Cementing Paste when they consume small insects (
 Titanomyrma,   Meganeura,   Jug Bug and   Glowbug).

Basic Info[edit | edit source]

Dossier[edit | edit source]
This section is intended to be an exact copy of what the survivor Helena Walker, the author
of the dossiers, has written. There may be some discrepancies between this text and the
in-game creature.

Wild

“ Beelzebufo palucocus is the largest frog I've ever seen. Almost impossibly
large, it can actually fit a fully-grown human adult on its back, though just
barely. This is a dangerous prospect, though, as secretions from
Beelzebufo's skin and saliva have a narcotic effect on most creatures.
Not surprisingly, Beelzebufo is adept at killing insects. Its lengthy tongue
allows it to quickly grab prey from afar, killing most insects near instantly
and quickly digesting them. It even combines the narcotic chemicals in its
mouth with the insects' chitin to create a specialized sticky substance.
Domesticated
Tamed Beelzebufo make for strange mounts. Strange mounts for strange
people. Many tribes don't believe there's any reason to ride them, but some
enjoy the ability to take large vertical hops up huge walls and cliffs.
Regardless of how it is ridden, Beelzebufo is also employed for its ability
to quickly cull insects, and convert them into always-useful cementing
paste. „
~ Helena

Behavior[edit | edit source]
Beelzebufo spends its days hopping about in the swamps. However, if attacked, it will fight
back fiercely, lashing out its poison-laden tongue at enemies.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Beelzebufo is an enormous frog, larger than a man and (once tamed) strong enough to
carry one on its back. Short spines protrude from its back. It is an effective ambush
predator of the island's large insect species, sedating its prey before stuffing it into its wide
mouth.
Color Scheme and Regions[edit | edit source]
This section displays the Beelzebufo's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the
regions below are colored red over an albino Beelzebufo. The colored squares shown
underneath each region's description are the colors that the Beelzebufo will randomly
spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over
a color to display its name and ID.
This information can be used to alter the Beelzebufo's regions by entering  cheat
SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID>  in the cheat console. For
instance,  cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6  would color the Beelzebufo's
"body" magenta.

Wild Stats Level-up

Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a
high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you
can try to recover the breeding-stats with an external tool.[1]

Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard
to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are
distributed.

Taming[edit | edit source]
For general infos about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.
KO Strategy[edit | edit source]
The standard procedure with   tranquilizer arrows works just fine. However be careful as
its attack has a long range and can tranquilize you. Standing on top of a large rock can
protect you from this.

Beelzebufo can be picked up with a tamed   Argentavis and dropped into a taming pen.
Since it only attacks horizontally, you can shoot it on a platform and you will be safe from its
attacks.

Combat[edit | edit source]
This section describes how to fight against the Beelzebufo.
General[edit | edit source]
Beginners should not take the Beelzebufo lightly! Do not attack the creature on impulse.
Often, beginners tend to swipe at them with whatever they have, since a frog seems like a
pretty docile animal. This leads to an untimely death that could easily have been prevented.
If one is knowledgeable, they can secure victory early on, or even tame this useful animal.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
A good strategy to fight them is from above, because their attack only hits the area directly
in front of them. Ranged weapons can reach further than its tongue, but it can close
distance very quickly. In some cases, rushing it may be the best course of action. Eat
stimberries if your torpor is peaking.
Weaponry[edit | edit source]
Better to use ranged weapons to avoid their   Torpor-inducing attack.
Dangers[edit | edit source]
They can knock you out easily with their torpor-rising attacks, and can jump and swim very
fast. Look out for other creatures in the swamp. The incidental backpedal into a pool of   
Megapiranha can kill a player quickly, as the beelzebufo can knock the player out, opening
a banquet for the piranha.   Titanoboas can add additional torpor and eat the player
alive, while   Sarcos ensure no escape on water routes. The poor choice to tamper with
a   Dimetrodon can be a fatal one, and the unfortunate jab into a   Paracer's leg can
lead to an unfortunate death via crushing, which can send players through the map on
occasion. Beware, beginners!
Weakness[edit | edit source]
Their attack is mostly horizontal, so it's easy to avoid it by just getting on a rock. They do
not have much health either.

Utility[edit | edit source]
Pressing the alt-fire button (default  Rmb ) will shoot the tongue out, inflicting   Torpor on
creatures it hits, and turning dead   Meganeura,   Titanomyrma,   Jug Bug and   
Glowbug into large amounts of   Cementing Paste. Attacking a bug corpse will yield
between 0 and 8 Cementing Paste each, regardless of melee damage.

If a   Meganeura is flying too high for the   Beelzebufo to attack, get off your   
Beelzebufo and punch the   Meganeura. Quickly jump back on the Beelzebufo, the   
Meganeura should be aggro, and its swarm will follow.   Jug Bug can't be killed with low
level Beelzebufo.
Hostile players may find the Beelzebufo a perfect mount for raiding. It is able to jump over
walls easily, and one hit from its tongue is enough to knock a human unconscious.
Also, Beelzebufo is a very versatile traveling mount, as it can can jump long distances,
does not take a lot of fall damage and its swim speed is good along with the fact it can
breathe underwater and its stamina recharges quickly while swimming.
Attention: Creatures killed by Beelzebufoes are immediately harvested(eaten) by them.
Players seeking special loots from certain creatures should not use Beelzebufo as their
weaponry.
Roles[edit | edit source]

 Must have mount: Beelzebufo is valuable for an animal relatively easy to tame.

Makes a perfect taming mount not only for inflicting   Torpor but being a comfortable
weapon mount as well. Also makes an excellent recon scout for how good it is at
running away from the fastest of threats, including a   Giganotosaurus should you
find the right rock areas to maximize distance gained from a jump.
 Hopper and Traveler: This creature is extremely adept at covering large distances
with its jump. This doesn't use much   Stamina so it can be used to travel long
distances quickly over most types of terrain, being fast on land and water. This creature
will also regain most of the stamina used jumping while in the air (Level   Movement
Speed). Keep in mind that if one continuely presses "jump" every time it lands, it can
gain momentum, making it even faster, so long as the terrain allows it.
 Swimmer: This creature is a strong swimmer as it moves more quickly than it does
on land and lacks the   Oxygen stat. It does not consume stamina to swim either.
Remember its underwater combat is not as good as on land as its tongue attack can't
reach as far while swimming and it is harder to control and turn.
 Cement Factory: This creature can gather decent quantities of   Cementing
Paste in a short period of time. It also gathers   Chitin in addition to the cementing
paste. A good tactic is to ride it into the swamp and kill something as Meganeura are
attracted to corpses. Once they begin feeding, attack and the swarm will come to you.
Level   Health and   Melee Damage (damage will not increase the Cementing
Paste received, but will increase your survivability against a swarm).
 Raiding: This creature is quite adept at low to mid tier raiding. It's able to make
quick escapes, raid higher leveled bases by overcoming higher walls, and its tongue
attack can quickly tranquilize enemy survivors in quick succession (  Health,   
Melee Damage, and   Movement Speed).
 Taming: This creature's tongue attack makes it a great tool for knocking creatures
unconscious, as it also deals minimal damage. It can also be used as a last resort for
keeping a creature's torpor high. Make sure to attack in either one attack per 10
second intervals, or 2 combo attacks once per 20 second intervals in order to cause
maximum torpor and the least amount of damage to a target. Thanks to the
Beelzebufo's mobility, it makes it easier to hop around targets and not get hurt while
slowly knocking them out, whereas creatures like the   Pulmonoscorpius and   
Equus must have added movement speed or stamina in order to surpass this issue.
 Leech Farmer: It appears that   Leeches do not agro on tamed Beezlebufos, so
this makes them great for harvesting   Leech Blood.
 Biotoxin Harvester: As long as the player is careful, a Beelzebufo will be agile
enough to kite   Cnidarias to shallow water and kill them with it's tongue, allowing for
safe toxin gathering.
