Aberrant Parasaur
Calculate expected resource yield per node for any dino. Select a node type and harvester.
Each hit on a node generates resource drops. The game randomly picks a resource from the loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the node faster, which can reduce total drops. The "best" melee is where you get the most drops.
Compare dino harvest yields from creature corpses. Select a corpse and up to 3 harvesters to compare.
Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse — the difference is total drops from base damage.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Parasaur as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
Its base Stamina of 450 gives it respectable staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it respectable melee power. Starting at 192 Health, it's not particularly tanky. Weight capacity starts at 480, giving it generous inventory space.
To tame the Aberrant Parasaur, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Aberrant Parasaur earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Aberrant 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.
