R-Parasaur
Variant
R-Parasaur Taming Calculator
The R-Parasaur is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |

 Basic Kibble | 3:25 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.95% | |
 Archelon Algae | 4:00 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.69% | |
 Crops | 16:00 | 71 Lvl (221) 95.23% | |
 Mejoberry | 16:12 | 68 Lvl (218) 91.73% | |
    Berries | 16:00 | 62 Lvl (212) 83.3% | |

Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the R-Parasaur at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the R-Parasaur unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.1 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
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 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.
