Required Narcotics

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the VR Lymantria 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 VR Lymantria bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Starve & Torpor Timers

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your VR Lymantria 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.

Found throughout the ARKs, the VR Lymantria is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.

With 260 base Health, the VR Lymantria is relatively fragile. With 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Lymantria has respectable melee power. With 150 base Stamina, the VR Lymantria has decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 175, giving it a reasonable inventory size.

You'll need to knock the VR Lymantria unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the VR Lymantria can serve multiple roles depending on how you level its stats after taming. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 35°C and 38°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.15 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
