The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the R-Parasaur at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the R-Parasaur at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the R-Parasaur first with 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 R-Parasaur unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.

The R-Parasaur is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.

At 194 base HP, the R-Parasaur is not particularly tanky. Melee starts at 105% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Stamina sits at 450 base, providing good endurance. Weight capacity starts at 480, giving it good carrying capacity.

The R-Parasaur is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the R-Parasaur is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. A wild R-Parasaur is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
