Microraptor Taming Calculator
The Microraptor is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. Torpor bleeds at 0.8/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.

Taming Results
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Microraptor based on your settings.
Required Narcotics
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Microraptor unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Microraptor bleeds 0.8 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
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.
The Microraptor is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Shoulder Pet category.
Stamina sits at 100 base, providing tires quickly. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Microraptor sits at 130 base, making it extremely fragile. It carries 45 base Weight - not built for hauling.
The Microraptor is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Rare Flower - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the Microraptor is commonly used for scouting and quick travel between locations. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.34 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
