X-Parasaur
Variant
X-Parasaur Egg & Breeding Calculator
The X-Parasaur reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 24°C and 28°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.
The baby X-Parasaur takes approximately 1 day and 2 hours to fully mature at default rates - requiring significant patience. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Raising a baby X-Parasaur involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~159 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~11h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the X-Parasaur's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Planning a mass raise? The X-Parasaur raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~159 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple X-Parasaur babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the X-Parasaur as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.
Its base Stamina of 450 gives it respectable staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it decent hitting power. Health-wise, the X-Parasaur sits at 194 base, making it not particularly tanky. It carries 480 base Weight - good carrying capacity.
To tame the X-Parasaur, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Basic Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the X-Parasaur earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. Killing a wild X-Parasaur yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
