Parasaur — Detailed Guide
The Parasaur is a skittish herbivore with a long head crest. It is one of the earliest rideable creatures, with plenty of stamina for travel. It runs from danger rather than fighting.
Where to find it
It is common on nearly every map: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction, Scorched Earth and Genesis Part 1 in both games, Astraeos and Lost Colony in ASA, and Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.
Taming
A knockout tame. It flees when hit, so a bola helps before you knock it out, then feed it crops, berries or herbivore kibble. Its saddle unlocks at level 9. See the taming calculator.
Breeding
- Egg: hatches in about 1 hour 26 minutes.
- Temperature: 24 to 28 °C.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 1.1 days at 1x.
Uses
An early travel mount with high stamina, and a light gatherer of berries.
Tips
It cannot fight off predators, so use it to cover ground and avoid dangerous areas.
