Tek Creatures
Tek Creatures are a variant of normal Creatures that were added permanently as part of the Extinction Chronicles event (exceptions being the Tek Triceratops, which was released as part of Genesis, the
Voidwyrm, which was released as part of Genesis: Part 2 and the Tek Giganotosaurus which is unobtainable unless using Console commands). Tek Creatures spawn at a 20% higher level, i.e. on difficulty 5 (max level 150) they will spawn up to level 180. They have a chance of 5% to spawn instead of their normal counterpart. Tek Creatures can only mate with other Tek Creatures and cannot mate with normal Creatures.
Although a higher max level of 180 (only 30 levels higher than the max level of 150 of the normal wild counterparts) may not seem like much of a difference initially, if you are lucky enough to find one, it is always a good idea to tame such a Tek Creature. If you manage to complete the taming process at maximum efficiency, the level boost can result in a tame that is roughly 269 in level. If the bonus levels are as evenly distributed as possible, the tamed Tek Creature can have all of its base levels in each stat in the low 50's: a level average that often requires extensive super-breeding efforts in their normal counterparts to achieve.
Tek Creatures are the only types of their creature counterparts that will spawn in the Lunar biome of Genesis, making this a useful area to farm them as tames.
Unlike their normal counterparts, Tek Creatures drop Electronics,
Element Dust,
Oil, and
Scrap Metal.
While on ARK: Survival Evolved Tek Creatures spawn on every map alongside other variants (with the only exception of
Tek Triceratops and
Voidwyrm spawning respectively only on Genesis: Part 1 and Genesis: Part 2), on
ARK: Survival Ascended Tek Creatures only spawn on Extinction, with both Tek Giganotosaurus as well as Tek Trike being spawnable and functional creatures, allowing server to can inject both spawns into their server spawn config (see Creature Spawn related settings).

Note/Trivia
- Baby Tek Creatures still tend to drop
Raw Prime Meat when harvested.
- On ARK: Survival Evolved, the Tek Giganotosaurus does not spawn in the game and drops normal resources.
- When tamed, the Voidwyrm's taming effectiveness is applied twice, allowing you to obtain a level 405 voidwyrm at maximum taming effectiveness and level 180 pre-tame
