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 good endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it decent hitting power. Health-wise, the X-parasaur sits at 194 base, making it on the squishy side. 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 is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. 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.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the X-parasaur across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the X-parasaur first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
