Overview
The Aberrant Parasaur is a herbivorous variant creature from the Aberration map. It excels at gathering a wide variety of plant-based resources while being carried by larger creatures for rapid deployment. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.
This variant is primarily used for efficient resource farming in dangerous or hard-to-reach areas, leveraging its aerial transportability and broad harvest range.

More about taming the Aberrant Parasaur
Taming an Aberrant Parasaur requires a knockout method. Use a Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y to immobilize it first. Then, apply sedation using weapons like the Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow with Tranq Arrows, or the Longneck Rifle with Tranquilizer Darts.
The best food is Basic Kibble, which maximizes taming effectiveness. Mejoberry also works well if kibble is unavailable. The process takes about 7 minutes with Basic Kibble and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
