The 변종 랩터, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.

With 106% base Melee Damage, the 변종 랩터 has decent hitting power. Starting at 192 Health, it's relatively fragile. Stamina sits at 150 base, providing average stamina. A base Weight of 140 means average weight tolerance.

You'll need to knock the 변종 랩터 unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the 변종 랩터 is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 20°C and 28°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the 변종 랩터 unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
