Pros

Can get caught by a bola

Really easy to tame and low levels can hold heavy weight

I have a LEVEL 17 and it can hold 600 weight

Has an ability to pinpoint and locate local threats

Their saddle’s craft-able at level 9

Cons

Their turret mode’s annoying when there’s things around you that are barely a threat like piranhas or compies

They’re slower than bigger threats like raptors

Have a small health pool

Their range is pretty small and can’t damage small creatures like compies when they attack the parasaurs underside

Literally An early game car.

Easy to tame.

Get berries

Bola a high level

Sling its head(or bat it)

Feed berry.

Also these guys can carry alot of stuff, with eh speed.

Good day 1 tame.

Why does no one like the parasaur compared to other gatherers? Yeah, the others might get bigger amounts of berries but even if it takes longer it has much better movement speed than for example a stego, and not only that the parasaur has decent weight that will hold much more berries, yeah, I get pumping weight on other creatures but starting off with half-decent weight is good on its own. But conversation aside, Cooked meat is better to eat anyways.

Tek parasaur eggs work for kibble in evolved!

The parasaur is probably my favorite early game tame, It's really early game, it's rideable, it gathers berries, it detects hostiles which you need to avoid in the early game, and it goes decently fast and is a pack mule. It is also one of the easiest things to tame (if it's a low level)

It can detect players nearby put on turret mode

Gather berries and thatch… and kill dodos.

Parasaur is the best dinosaur to tame for the first tame it got good health and weight and cool colours

Good solid first time mount for anyone who is new to ark it may be incredibly weak but it will help you survive your first few nights while you gather resources

This is an average mount that can take you long distances either at a slow pace,or fast pace.It is an everyday pack mule that can be used to travel around The Island.I recommend it for beginners who need a easy simple carrier,but not really for defensive or offensive purposes.Level more their weight,stamina or speed mainly,and some of their health but that about it.Make it in to a real life camel or raptor,but it always depends on the person.

Easy way to level up quickly:

Step 1: Tame one if these guys, level doesn't matter at all.

Step 2: Get raw meat and split the stack into ones so all spoil separately. You can add a new stack and it won't effect the timer.

Step 3: Mortar and Pestle, spam craft narcotics.

Step 4: Profit

It can now detect enemy Tames/Players. Can even detect Purlovias underground so be sure to bring one to a raid.

Turret Mode is a great way to warn you of enemies within a pretty decent range! However, your Parasaur will not follow you while in Turret Mode, and it will not sound a warning while you ride it (enemies will still be highlighted in red).

Also, Turret Mode does not distinguish between threats; it could be warning you of a deadly Rex or Giga nearby or there’s a Compy or (apparently) Oviraptor passing through. Best to ere on the side of caution!

Quick tip (mostly for solo/pve players, harder on pvp obviously)

Tek Parasaur Farm. A few males and a lot of females will provide you with a home supply of oil and electronics, plus scrap metal which can be smelted into scrap metal ingots

(...and if youre a loser like myself you can try to breed a bunch of tek parasaurs with a single uniform color)

Finding a tek Parasur and breeding a lot will give you free metal scraps as long as you got a therizino to gather them. Remember... its all for the grind

Put them next to your eggs on turret mode so you know if there is an oviraptor nearby or the egg hatches.

Switch controls

Right joystick pushed down: fear roar( yes it has one)

Left joystick: sprint

R2: head slam

L2 : sonar

If you want more creature controls for switch, check out magmasuars, blood stalker, or ferox. Next will be on stego

Pump one of these with oxygen and you'll swim faster than any thing out to get you

So I found an tek para on ark mobile ultimate edition, and I want to know if the tek dinos are better than the normal dinos.

To tame him you MUST have a bolas otherwise you won't tame him quickly, also use a club for the early stages of the game, he collects plants very well, but doesn't do much damage
