Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius
To tame the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. The Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 12°C and 16°C. A wild Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius is worth 6 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius 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 Pulmonoscorpius first with Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Argentavis to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
