X-Paraceratherium
The X-Paraceratherium 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 0.9/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
Superior Kibble | 43:22 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.8% | |
Archelon Algae | 50:35 | 74 Lvl (224) 98.76% | |
Crops | 3:21:09 | 62 Lvl (212) 83.35% | |
Mejoberry | 3:21:01 | 55 Lvl (205) 73.81% | |

Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the X-Paraceratherium based on your settings.
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the X-Paraceratherium. 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. At 0.9 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your X-Paraceratherium 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.

After taming, the X-Paraceratherium combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. A wild X-Paraceratherium is worth 12 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.66 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 43m 22s
Food to consume through starvation: 2984
Target food level: 19766
The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the X-Paraceratherium at different levels. 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 X-Paraceratherium first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Tusoteuthis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
