Just like the turtle's of ark a Para is like a preserving ben just shorter timer

Step 5 load him with tools and rescources to bring them over the map

If you are near a one high base without a roof you can use him to hop in and out of the base

Tek parasaurs are a super important early game tame. Capture and tame at any level to get a breeding pair. You then have harvesters and transportation but more importantly a potentially endless supply of metal, oil and electronics. Keep breeding and hatching eggs early on and it will help you get those early tech pieces before you perhaps establish a more high volume source for same.

Parasaurs can be set on turret mode and will look for enemy players or tames and alert you of them. This can be very useful if you have many of them around the entire map. A message wil then pop up saying:

“(Name of Dino) detected an enemy” and a red dot will appear at their location. You can name your Parasaur something like “Redwoods” or “beach” so you will now where the enemy is even at long distances.

The easiest Dino to take in ARK, second only to the Dodo. The easiest way to KO would be to craft at least two Bola (just in case you somehow miss with the first), then proceed to give it a face full of wood, or an arrow to the head. Once tamed, these guys make for a decent first mount early game if you are wanting to get from point A to point B in in a fairly good time, while also carrying enough supplies to build a small camp base. Like other herbivores, you can also use them to gather berries fairly quickly. When in your base, they can be used as an early warning system to alert tribe members if somebody is trying to sneak into your camp. When ridden, they possess two abilities, a sonar like "ping" to reveal hidden enemies and wild dinos that may pose danger, and loud "honk" to scare away any would be predators. Word of warning, though. Thier primary weakness is the fact that they possess little to no attack strength, so don't think you can take anything larger than a Dilo on one. They make up for the lack of melee damage with fairly decent speed, although some Raptors can quickly catch up to a fleeing Parasaur. Another slight disadvantage Parasaurs have is that they cannot jump, so try not to ride in rough terrain. Their swim speed also leaves something to be desired. Overall, these guys work best as a forward scout mount for when you want to explore or search for a new outpost location if you don't have access to a flyer, while also being strong enough to carry the needed materials. Keep in mind to stay out of tight forests or rough terrain, and keep water crossings to a minimum. Always keep your head on a swivel with the sonar ability. When leveling, train in HP, Stamina, Carry Weight, and Movement Speed (but only enough to keep from becoming the next meal for a wild Raptor pack).

Very good to get berries and. Very quick I have a level 43

This creature either tamed or in the wild is faster than a raptor in water,(make sure the water is deep enough) while the triceratops gathers berries and trees better, its berry good for collecting berries(pun intended).

One of the best creatures for mounted combat. Easy to tame, great stamina, and with egg laying you can have an “insurance policy” (if it does end up dying) and start from where you left off stat wise. Just get a decent saddle and put all the lvls into health. I’ve killed everything short of a giga on the island with mine.

When joining an ark this is a herbivore that you may want to go for. Early game it's not bad for getting berries and thatch.a solid Freind that won't let you down unless there's literally any carnivore around.

Will tide you over untill you get literally any other herbivore.

These guys are amazing starter mounts,especially now as they have this new well ability the turret mode and the ability to make medium sized creatures flee! They are also decent berry and thatch collectors for beginner thatch building.

Very useful for material runs. It lets you know when enemies are near by allowing you to avoid dangers

You need rockarrot instead of longrass to make its kibble. I guess you could use longrass but it is easier to obtain rockarrots.

While not the fastest reptile in the kingdom, Parasaurs are still a trusty mount. Whatever trouble you may find yourself in, you can count on a parasaur to get you out. I like to think of them as very large, reptilian horses. Wether it is resource gathering or just a simple joyride, parasaurs will get it done.

A good tame for starters. Always gets stuck, easy to knock out and easy to tame. They may be weak, they may be slow,but make good pets and cheap berry collecters.

Not only is it fast and a decent berry harvester, it has a sort of echolocation ability that locates aggressive creatures. Very useful if you're in low visibility areas.

Parasaurs can out swim raptors and dillos so you can avoid death in the early game

The parasaur is a really helpful tame for gathering berries in the early game but it’s also very helpful in PVP because of it’s special ability to seek out enemy’s and you can just leave your base to get resources and it will tell you if your parasaur saw an enemy at your base and you can act quickly.

Paradaur seem to have a better chance to collect seeds for vegetable crops.

When you tame a para you can now harvest berries and thatch very efficiently. If you right click your para can detect enemies which is very useful in pvp, if you press C you can do a roar which scares creatures up to the size of raptors.
