The Paracer, or Paraceratherium (pair-uh-sair-oth-EE-re-um) is one of the creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved.

Basic Info[]

Dossier[]

This section is intended to be an exact copy of what the survivor Helena Walker, the author of the dossiers, has written. There may be some discrepancies between this text and the in-game creature.

Wild

Paraceratherium gigamicus is a massive, long-necked herbivore that inhabits some of the Island's grasslands. It resembles a gigantic horse/rhinoceros hybrid, but is over twice the size of either. Paraceratherium is a very peaceful and friendly creature. Barring some surprises yet in store for me, I can safely say that Paraceratherium is among the largest mammals on the Island. While its size means that Paraceratherium can provide an incredible amount of food, it also makes it dangerous when hunted.

Domesticated

A beast of burden second to the Brontosaurus, Paraceratherium is an excellent worker, and is sufficient in size to support a "platform" saddle upon which structures can be built. It is a naturally friendly animal, and is not afraid of humans. However, despite its normally calm demeanor, when it or its owner is provoked by aggression, the Paraceratherium can quickly become a real threat to the attacker and will use its girth to its advantage in combat.

Behavior[]

Paraceratherium, due to a lack of natural enemies because of its sheer size, is naturally docile. It will ignore humans and other creatures so long as not provoked. Once it is attacked, the animal quickly becomes dangerous. Again, because of its size and immense weight, the Paracer is an extremely deadly adversary so proceed with caution. Luckily, Paracer are solitary creatures living alone or in small family groups. They will protect their fellow herd members if necessary. Don't be fooled by its large size and seemingly docile temperament, the Paracer is an incredibly fast and strong creature when it wants to be. With high health and quick movement, this quick horse-like creature can be slow to take down, and can dish out devastating attacks to survivors and smaller dinos.

Because of their need for copious amounts of nourishment and physical size, Paracer tend to roam the edge of forests and valleys in the lower altitudes, avoiding dense forests if possible.

Appearance[]

Paraceratherium is a large terrestrial mammal estimated to weigh between 15-20 tons (33,000 to 44,000 lbs) when fully grown. Standing approximately 16 feet at the withers and 24 feet in length. Paracer's build is rather stocky with long, robust legs to support the animal's immense size. A long thick neck, upwards of 4–5 feet long, allows the animal to easily graze high vegetation. Paracer's Hide Hide is extremely thick and hairless. Excess skin folds onto itself similar to modern day Rhinos. Hide color ranges from brown to grey. Small eyes and ears allow limited vision/hearing that is overcompensated by an excellent sense of smell.

Color Scheme and Regions[]

This section displays the Paraceratherium's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Paraceratherium. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Paraceratherium will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.

This information can be used to alter the Paraceratherium's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID> in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6 would color the Paraceratherium's "body" magenta.

Wild Stats Level-up

Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you can try to recover the breeding stats with an external tool.[1]

Paraceratherium

The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps

Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.

Taming[]

For general info about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.

KO Strategy[]

A rather standard tame, use the Crossbow Crossbow with Tranq Arrow Tranq Arrows leaving a few seconds (~4) between each shot. It tends to have pretty high Torpor Torpor and can move fast for an animal of its size, either kite it around or have a friend hover you above with a flyer and aim for the head for a quicker KO. They can also be Snagged on bigger Destructible rocks, and shot at from the other side, as they are not quite as capable of maneuvering over them, but are tall enough to hit the head or neck. It is also easy to kite the paracer around a Dinosaur Gate Dinosaur Gate.

Combat[]

This section describes how to fight against the Paraceratherium.

General[]

The Paracer is one of the larger herbivores and has slightly more Health Health than a Rex Rex and high Melee Damage damage. They tend to spawn in groups of 2 or more.

Strategy[]

Despite the Paracer's strength, it is slower than a player and its large size means it can be stuck behind boulders, but it will destroy any trees blocking its path. It can also be kited to a cliff where you can shoot it safely. When using a reasonably fast mount attacking its back feet is a good way to kill it fast and take minimal damage in the process. Since it is docile you can set you large mount like another Paracer or any thing slightly smaller and up to passive while you laugh and shoot or hit it as it runs into you

Weaponry[]

A decent ranged weapon such as a Crossbow Crossbow or a Longneck Rifle Longneck Rifle is effective at killing the Paracer before it can reach you. A decent tame can kill a single Paracer without problems, but a group can deal a large amount of damage quickly to it.

Dangers[]

The Paracer usually spawns in small groups and can overwhelm an unprepared target. Its attacks have a wide range and even when escaping its stomp attack can be do large amounts of Melee Damage damage to smaller creatures such as Raptor Raptors.

Weakness[]

Its large size means it can get stuck easily, and it will run away once it has taken sufficient damage, giving a large window to attack.

Also, unlike other creatures, the AoE of this creature also hits wild creatures, making them attack depending on their temperament. You can utilize this to kill huge groups of Paracers. Then, quickly harvest the corpse.

Utility[]

Roles[]

  • Reliable Mobile base: Although you can't build a base as big as the one you can build on a Brontosaurus Brontosaurus, Paracer is ideal for survivors that want to have a small hut with the basic structures in it, it also has the advantage of appearing on every map unlike the Bronto Bronto. A well trained Paracer with possibly some escort guards to follow it can be plenty safe for players in the wild against anything short of alpha predators or Giganotosaurus. Just be aware where you park and structure your buildings as some large combatants which might attack the living base (like Rex) can potentially damage structures through walls. (Level Health, Speed, and Stamina; also level Weight if used for transport).
  • Transportation: An ideal beast of burden, the Paracer could carry a fair amount of goods. It has a quick pace (compared to the Brontosaurus Brontosaurus), good stamina, and can easily be carried by a Large Elevator Platform large elevator platform under full load, can effectively navigate on open Wooden Tree Platform Tree Platforms, and is ignored by most smaller predators such as Dilo Dilos and Raptor Raptors, the paracer also has a decent AoE damage and HP against larger predators (Level Speed, Stamina, and Weight).
  • Battle Platform: As a beast of war the Paracer is often overlooked in favor of the Bronto Bronto. However, it does have a number of qualities that work in its favor: compared to the Bronto Bronto the Paracer requires much less Food Food in order to tame, is quicker, and the platform saddle is available at a much lower level. This can allow an aspiring tribe to mount mobile Ballista Turret Ballista Turrets to help combat larger creatures or protect its tribe-members behind walls to allow them to get to a battle safely (Level Health, Melee Damage, Speed, and Stamina when necessary).
  • Prime Meat Jerky: Having a Paracer with an Industrial Grill Industrial Grill on the platform saddle can make getting Cooked Prime Meat Cooked Prime Meat for Jerky Jerky very easy. Not only can it follow you at quick pace and make sure the Cooked Prime Meat meat doesn't spoil, it can help you with killing the source of the Raw Prime Meat Prime meat (Level Health, Melee Damage, and Weight when needed).
  • Mobile Feeding Trough: A paracer can have many Feeding Trough Feeding Troughs on its platform saddle. Build structures to maximize the space for Feeding Trough Feeding Troughs. This allows the paracer to move around the player's base to feed their hungry tames. (maximize weight to handle all the weight/mass of the food)
  • Turret Soaker: Being the most mobile land dino that can support a platform saddle, they are ideal for soaking turrets while protecting the rider. Unlike the Brontosaurus, the paracer is small enough it is possible to extend Metal Walls or even Tek Walls out enough to cover the entire animal's hitbox from the front, back, or side. This can make the paracer all but immune to Auto Turret fire and a huge resource drain on Tek Turrets. Park it in firing range of the automatic turrets and just wait for their ammo to run dry or distract them as teammates disable them.
