Variant
X-Parasaur Taming Calculator
Knock the X-Parasaur unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. The X-Parasaur loses Torpor at 0.1 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

|---|---|---|---|
 Basic Kibble | 6:50 | 74 Lvl (224) 99.8% | |
 Archelon Algae | 8:00 | 74 Lvl (224) 98.76% | |
 Crops | 32:00 | 62 Lvl (212) 83.3% | |
 Mejoberry | 32:06 | 55 Lvl (205) 73.65% | |
    Berries | 32:00 | 41 Lvl (191) 55.46% |
Taming Results
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the X-Parasaur, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Required Narcotics
Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the X-Parasaur. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.
Starve & Torpor Timers
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
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.
