Aberrant Purlovia
To tame the Aberrant Purlovia, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Purlovia at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Aberrant Purlovia sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The Aberrant Purlovia bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Aberrant Purlovia. 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 Purlovia first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Procoptodon to airlift it into a pre-built trap.
