Alpha Creature / Animal / NPC's are mini Boss in ATLAS. They are different from the other creature. They are surrounded by a golden glow. They've more HP than the "normal" creature and could easily kill you or you tamed creature. But fighting them brings you a lot of XP and much more resources than the normal creature. When you dealt damage to an alpha and it recovers HP you won't get XP for the part you already damaged. They're not tameable! Also underwater creatures like sharks cant spawn as alphas.
