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.
