X-Parasaur

Overview

X-Parasaur is a herbivorous variant creature. It provides significant weight reduction for inventory resources, making it valuable for resource transport. The creature can be carried by large flyers and aquatic carriers such as Argentavis and Tusoteuthis, enabling rapid deployment across long distances.

It is primarily tamed to reduce the weight of gathered resources, improving efficiency during large-scale farming operations.

More about taming the X-Parasaur

Taming an X-Parasaur requires a knockout method. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it initially. The best food is Basic Kibble, which provides the fastest taming effectiveness. Mejoberry is a viable alternative if kibble is unavailable.

Approximately 8 units of Basic Kibble are needed at level 150 on Official settings. The taming process takes about 7 minutes with no Narcotics required. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering

While mounted, X-Parasaur's melee attack gathers various resources with a 10× multiplier. It efficiently collects Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Sap, Thatch, and several seed types including Mejoberry Seed and Plant Species Y Seed.

It also gathers mushrooms, rare flowers, and fiber. The Frighten ability has a 15-meter range and a 120-second cooldown, useful for repelling nearby creatures during foraging.
