Kaprosuchus Taming Calculator
Knock the Kaprosuchus unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Kaprosuchus at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Kaprosuchus 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 Kaprosuchus bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Kaprosuchus tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Kaprosuchus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Kaprosuchus as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Water classification.
Health-wise, the Kaprosuchus sits at 200 base, making it on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it solid stamina reserves. A base Weight of 140 means modest carrying capacity.
To tame the Kaprosuchus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the Kaprosuchus is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–35°C temperature window. A wild Kaprosuchus is worth 5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.4 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
