Procoptodon
Procoptodon Taming Calculator
Taming the Procoptodon requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. The Procoptodon loses Torpor at 0.67 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
 Rare Mushroom | 1:11:00 | 72 Lvl (222) 96.2% | |
 Plant Species X Seed | 1:34:40 | 64 Lvl (214) 86.36% |
Taming Results
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Procoptodon, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Procoptodon. 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 0.67 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Starve & Torpor Timers
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Procoptodon tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Procoptodon: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Procoptodon is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Breeding classification.
