R-Procoptodon
Variant
Overview
The R-Procoptodon is a herbivorous variant creature from Genesis: Part 2. It features a 5% increase in Melee Damage but a 3% reduction in Health compared to the base Procoptodon. This dino excels at gathering a wide range of plant-based resources quickly while being carried by larger creatures.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across the map.
Spawn Locations
R-Procoptodon does not currently spawn on any ARK: Survival Ascended map, or spawn data is not yet available.
Tame the R-Procoptodon using knockout methods. The best food is Rare Mushroom, which provides the fastest taming effectiveness. Plant Species X Seed also works, though it grants half the affinity.
Immobilize it with a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, Large Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y. Use Tranq Arrows from a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow, or Tranquilizer Darts from a Longneck Rifle.
Expect around 71 minutes of taming time using 71 Rare Mushrooms. Use the calculator below for your settings.
| Food | Qty | Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
 Rare MushroomBest | 71 | 1:11:00 | 72 Lvl (222) |
 Plant Species X Seed | 142 | 1:34:40 | 64 Lvl (214) |
Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing the R-Procoptodon yields Hide, Raw Meat, and Pelt. The Hatchet yields the most Hide and Pelt, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat.
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Gathering Abilities
While ridden, the R-Procoptodon gathers using Bite, Kick, and PickUp attacks. Each attack harvests the same resources with equal efficiency. It excels at gathering Berries, Seeds, Mushrooms, Rare Flowers, and Wood at 10× efficiency. Cactus Sap and Fiber are gathered at 8× efficiency.
Key resources include Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Plant Species X Seed, and Rare Mushroom.
Damage Resistances
The R-Procoptodon takes +200% damage from spike walls, making them extremely effective for defense. It also suffers +120% damage from instant melee sources and +55% from metal melee attacks. Conversely, it has a 60% resistance to fire damage, making flame-based weapons less effective.
