Tapejara Taming Calculator
The Tapejara is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. Torpor bleeds at 0.1/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.

Taming Results
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Tapejara based on your settings.
Required Narcotics
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Tapejara 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
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Tapejara tame in real time. 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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Tapejara as a tamable, flying, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Flyer group.
With 250 base Stamina, the Tapejara has moderate endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. The Tapejara has 325 base Health - decently sturdy. A base Weight of 280 means good carrying capacity.
To tame the Tapejara, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Tapejara is a versatile flyer useful for scouting, traversal, and light transport. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–32°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
