The Tek Parasaur, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.

Stamina sits at 450 base, providing respectable staying power. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Tek Parasaur brings respectable melee power to the table. Starting at 200 Health, it's on the squishy side. A base Weight of 480 means good carrying capacity.

You'll need to knock the Tek Parasaur unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Tek Parasaur earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 24°C and 28°C. Killing a wild Tek Parasaur yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
