Variant
R-Velonasaur Taming Calculator
To tame the R-Velonasaur, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

Taming Results
The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the R-Velonasaur at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the R-Velonasaur. 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 0.1 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 R-Velonasaur tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level R-Velonasaur: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
Found throughout the ARKs, the R-Velonasaur is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
Health-wise, the R-Velonasaur sits at 427 base, making it moderately tough. With 105% base Melee Damage, the R-Velonasaur has decent hitting power. With 325 base Stamina, the R-Velonasaur has moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 325, giving it a solid weight pool.
Taming the R-Velonasaur requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the R-Velonasaur is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 28°C and 32°C. A wild R-Velonasaur is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
