VR Astrodelphis
The VR Astrodelphis is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the VR Astrodelphis at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the VR Astrodelphis sedated throughout taming. 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. With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. 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.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 1h 21m 0s
Food to consume through starvation: 1620
Target food level: 3980
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the VR Astrodelphis across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the VR Astrodelphis first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap.
