Aberrant Carbonemys
Knock the Aberrant Carbonemys unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. The Aberrant Carbonemys loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Aberrant Carbonemys, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Carbonemys 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 0.1 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Aberrant Carbonemys tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Aberrant Carbonemys: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Aberrant Carbonemys 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 Aberrant Carbonemys first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Quetzal can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
