Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Parasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Parasaurs are really good! They are gatherers, fairly good mounts for starters, great source of eggs and kibble... and just great dinos for a person who has started out! 8/10

Many people think this Dino is useless, but they are wrong. Early game? Game one. Then game 2-3 dilos, (I use eight lol) and get enough hide for a saddle. Then, ride this thing around and harvest for 2 minutes, and you have hundreds of berries, including narco berries, used for…

Great mount in general. Loyal and surprisingly not the worst fighter. I was collecting resources in the woods on my mount when all of a sudden I was attacked by a carno. Luckily my parasour, Paraphrase, was up for the challenge. He killed the carno with more than half of his…

Perfect for starting out. Easy to tame, good for holding your stuff, and their kibble is preferred by raptors, a good starter carnivore.

This is a great first tame. It is often used for riding but that is not a good thing to do because they are pretty slow. But they are good for carrying your stuff. Great first tame.

GREAT TO HAVE FOR SERVERS!!! They can spot enemy players and you will get a UI saying that (your parasaur) has detected (player)! Always have a few on each side of your base on a multiplayer

Place a few at edges of your base in turret mode and it will highlight nearby hostile creatures. Excellent way to detect piranhas in water near you as well. Warning: it also triggers on oviraptors for some reason. Can also be set to detect humans for PVP servers.

Tame 10 or more and make a storage train to transport tons off stuff. Parasaurs are basically mobile large storage chests. Pump speed and stamina (speed more than stamina)

Great pack mule. Easy to tame, common, fast enough to keep up while you craft walls and foundations that you immediately stuff in its inventory. Strong and sturdy enough to protect you from dilos and other silly small agro dinos. As a mount... eh. I don’t go far early game…

Good for berries to tame other herbivores and also needed for weight but its a start and soon you'll want a turtle..

OMG. use these guys to get berries. Just press the punch/throw button when it's nose is over a bush. 5 mins of doing this and you get about 300 of each berry type and lots of seeds too. They can also kill dodos and lystros

Although these dinos are solid tames, trikes and other berry bois can be better tames if they are nearby.
