Purlovia — Detailed Guide

The Purlovia is a small burrowing predator that hides underground and leaps out to stun its prey. It can knock riders off their mounts. Tamed, it makes a classic hidden guard around a base.

Where to find it

It lives on most maps in both games. It is common on The Island and Extinction, notably frequent on Lost Island in ASE, and well represented on Lost Colony in ASA. In ASA it no longer spawns in the Redwood biome.

Taming

A knockout tame. Wait for it to leave its burrow, knock it out with tranquilizers and feed it meat or kibble. It cannot be ridden.

Breeding

  • Birth: live birth after about 4.2 hours of gestation.
  • Growth: a baby takes about 2 days to mature at 1x.

Uses

  • Base defense: a tamed Purlovia can burrow and ambush intruders.
  • Drops: Raw Meat, Hide and Pelt.

Tips

A buried Purlovia is invisible, but a Tek Helmet, an explosion, a Yutyrannus roar or the detection of a Parasaur, Direwolf or Troodon can reveal it. Its stun can leave you open to other predators, so heal right away if you are hit.
