Overview
The Tek Parasaur is a rare variant of the Parasaur with enhanced capabilities. It provides significant weight reduction for certain resources, making it valuable for transport logistics. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across long distances.
Players typically tame the Tek Parasaur to streamline resource hauling, especially when paired with flyers for aerial support.

More about taming the Tek Parasaur
Taming a Tek Parasaur requires knockout via tranquilizer. The most effective food is Basic Kibble, which provides the fastest taming time. Mejoberry can also be used if kibble is unavailable, though it is significantly slower.
Use a Bow or Crossbow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it. Immobilize the creature first with a Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y. The process takes around 7 minutes with 8 units of Basic Kibble and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
