Starve & Torpor Timers

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Aberrant Dimetrodon tame in real time. 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.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Dimetrodon as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it solid damage output. Starting at 336 Health, it's reasonably durable. Stamina sits at 300 base, providing average stamina. A base Weight of 250 means a solid weight pool.

To tame the Aberrant Dimetrodon, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Aberrant Dimetrodon is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 30°C–34°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.08 Element plus 0 Element per level.
