Overview
The Aberrant Dire Bear is a large omnivore variant found in the Aberration biome. It gains a 6% increase to Melee Damage compared to the standard Dire Bear, making it a stronger close-combat fighter. This dino is primarily used for harvesting plant-based resources efficiently. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.
Players often tame it for its high gather multipliers on berries, fiber, and seeds while benefiting from its increased melee power in combat.

More about taming the Aberrant Dire Bear
Tame the Aberrant Dire Bear using the knockout method. Use a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Tranq Arrows from a Crossbow or Shocking Tranquilizer Darts from a Tek Bow work well for sedation. Feed it Giant Bee Honey for the fastest taming. Superior Kibble also works nearly as effectively. The process takes about 42 minutes and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering
While mounted, the Aberrant Dire Bear gathers from multiple plant categories including berries, fiber, mushrooms, organic polymer, rare flowers, seeds, and wood. Each attack harvests the same resources with a 10× multiplier on items like Citronal, Fiber, Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Organic Polymer, Plant Species X Seed, Plant Species Y Seed, Rare Flower, and Rockarrot. This makes it one of the most efficient plant gatherers in the game.
