Aberrant Parasaur
Aberrant Parasaur Overview
Survivors looking at Aberrant Parasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended will find a land-based herbivore that earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It is a herbivore tamed through knockout taming, with Basic Kibble as its top-tier food, and brings 480 base Weight, providing generous inventory space to the table. It reproduces by laying fertilized eggs that incubate between 24°C and 28°C, with babies maturing requiring significant patience. Its harvest profile centers on Hide, Raw Meat, making farming runs noticeably faster. It earns its place in the stable for survivors looking to graduate from early-game tames.
