Therizinosaur
To tame the Therizinosaur, you need to knock it unconscious first. Tranq Arrows, Tranq Darts, and Shocking Tranq Darts all work. The Therizinosaur loses Torpor at 2.83 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Therizinosaur, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Therizinosaur sedated throughout taming. 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. The Therizinosaur bleeds 2.83 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Therizinosaur. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Therizinosaur first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. Alternatively, use a Procoptodon to airlift it into a pre-built trap.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Therizinosaur is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the DMG classification.
With 300 base Stamina, the Therizinosaur has moderate endurance. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Therizinosaur has respectable melee power. With 870 base Health, the Therizinosaur is quite durable. Weight capacity starts at 365, giving it generous inventory space.
You'll need to knock the Therizinosaur unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Exceptional Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the Therizinosaur is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 26°C and 32°C. A wild Therizinosaur is worth 18 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.94 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
