More about taming the Aberrant Dimetrodon
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Dimetrodon based on your settings.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Aberrant Dimetrodon at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Aberrant Dimetrodon first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Dimetrodon unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Aberrant Dimetrodon bleeds 5 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Aberrant Dimetrodon tame in real time. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Dimetrodon as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it solid damage output. Starting at 336 Health, it's reasonably durable. Stamina sits at 300 base, providing average stamina. A base Weight of 250 means a solid weight pool.
To tame the Aberrant Dimetrodon, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the Aberrant Dimetrodon is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 30°C–34°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.08 Element plus 0 Element per level.
