Concavenator Taming Calculator
Taming the Concavenator requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Concavenator at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Concavenator. 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. At 1 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Concavenator is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the DMG classification.
Starting at 425 Health, it's decently sturdy. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Concavenator brings decent hitting power to the table. Stamina sits at 350 base, providing good endurance. A base Weight of 325 means generous inventory space.
You'll need to knock the Concavenator unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the Concavenator is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 50°C and 53°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
