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.

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 200 base HP, the R-Parasaur is not particularly tanky. Melee starts at 100% - 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.
