The Parasaurolophus or "Parasaur" is one of the Dinosaurs in ARK Survival Evolved.
Dossier[]
- Wild: Parasaurolophus Amphibio has some of the more interesting adaptions of all Creatures I've seen on the Island. Like all parasaur, it has a signature head ridge. Very docile at first, I've often been able to approach them without complaint. If startled, however, the Parasaur immediately runs - very far and very fast.
- Domesticated: As a relatively simple creature to domesticate, Parasaurolophus Amphibio is one of the most common mounts I've yet seen on the island. It's ability to run fairly fast for lengthy intervals makes it a solid mode of medium-range transportation, though it has almost no ability to defend itself or its rider.
- Known Information: This species of parasaur seems to have a previously "disproved" use for its ridge. Small openings at the top of the ridge allow it to be used as a snorkel. This is unique to Parasaurolophus Amphibio, as is their surprising speed in the water.
Taming[]
Parasaurs have been known to like the Azulberry and Mejoberry, so taming will be more effective and faster while using these berries. Tintoberries are not very effective. It will not eat Stimberries. Once tamed, you probably want to use these as mounts and to carry items, as they have no efficient way to defend themselves, and deal very little damage.
Hunting[]
Because Parasaurs are very fast, and will run away if attacked, it is necessary to kill them very quickly. One of the best methods is to use a melee weapon to quickly kill them before they can run away. Parasaurs have relatively low health, but to kill them before they can run pretty much requires a Pike. Ranged weapons could be used to help take one down, but you usually can only get one or two good shots at them before they get away. For players without Pikes, your best option is to hope that the Parasaur gets stuck on a boulder or other large obstacle so that you may melee it to death.

Behavior[]
Parasaurs are one of the passive dinosaurs, and will not fight back even when attacked unless you take one of their eggs. However, the Parasaur is one of the fastest sprinting dinosaurs in the ARK, and can be tricky to catch.
Appearance[]
It has a raptors structure, but much more muscular and larger compared. It has no claws or sharp teeth and a large tube protruding out the back of its head.
