Overview

Kaprosuchus

The Kaprosuchus (Kap-roe-soo-kuss), commonly called Kapro or Gator, is a medium-sized crocodilian creature in ARK: Survival Evolved. Found in swamp regions across multiple maps, it is a fierce predator known for its speed both on land and in water. Its signature move is the leap attack - it patiently waits underwater, then lunges at prey to drag it underwater. It can grab and carry smaller creatures in its jaws. While some survivors love its speed and versatility, others find it too frail for serious combat. It is one of the few creatures that can grab and carry other creatures.

Domesticated

Survivors are generally split about the usefulness of Kaprosuchus. Some love its speed both in and out of the water, essentially making it among the fastest small-sized, all-terrain mounts when travelling through the wetlands. Others do not like how relatively frail Kaprosuchus is, and do not think its high speed and ensnaring attacks make up for this shortcoming.

Taming

Taming Method Knockout
Favorite Food Raw Mutton
XP for Kill 20
KO Strategy Kaprosuchus is a dangerous opponent due to its leap attack that can knock you off your mount. Use a strong mount to tank its attacks while you tranq it, or wait for it to use its leap attack and miss before engaging. It has relatively low torpor compared to other creatures, so bring plenty of narcotics. A high-level creature can make taming easier.
