Purlovia
Knock the Purlovia 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.

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Purlovia at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the 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 Purlovia bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. 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.

Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 35m 10s
Food to consume through starvation: 938
Target food level: 13062
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Purlovia. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Purlovia first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Procoptodon can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
The Purlovia is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Support classification.
The Purlovia has 275 base Health - relatively fragile. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. Its base Stamina of 300 gives it decent staying power. It carries 400 base Weight - generous inventory space.
The Purlovia is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the Purlovia earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Killing a wild Purlovia yields 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
