Taming the Х-Тапежара requires applying enough torpor to knock it out. Use tranquilizer projectiles, then place food in its inventory. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

The Х-Тапежара, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It belongs to the Variant category.

Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the Х-Тапежара brings solid damage output to the table. The Х-Тапежара has 315 base Health - reasonably durable. With 250 base Stamina, the Х-Тапежара has moderate endurance. It carries 280 base Weight - a solid weight pool.

You'll need to knock the Х-Тапежара unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Х-Тапежара is a versatile flyer useful for scouting, traversal, and light transport. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 29°C and 32°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Х-Тапежара sedated throughout taming. 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. With Torpor draining at 0.1/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Х-Тапежара: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Х-Тапежара at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Х-Тапежара at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Х-Тапежара first with Bola or Chain Bola.
