The R-Parasaur is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
At 194 base HP, the R-Parasaur is not particularly tanky. Melee starts at 105% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Stamina sits at 450 base, providing good endurance. Weight capacity starts at 480, giving it good carrying capacity.
The R-Parasaur is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the R-Parasaur is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. A wild R-Parasaur is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
