PLESIOSAUR KNOCKOUT

Torpor is 1,600 at level 1 and rises 96 per wild level, so the shot counts scale straight with level. The numbers above are exact: torpor per shot is the weapon's own value and nothing here depends on server rates.

A Plesiosaur takes 1.5× torpor from head shots, which is where the bracketed figures come from. That multiplier is in the game's own bone-damage table for this species.

Whether a weapon kills before it drops: that depends on the individual creature's health, and a wild creature's stat spread is unknowable from the outside. The calculator can warn about it because you tell it the spread; a fixed table cannot, so it does not pretend to. As a rule the Electric Prod and Tek Bow are the ones that kill small creatures.

Knocking it out is half the job. What it eats, how long the tame takes and how much Narcotic you need all depend on the food you use, so they live on the Plesiosaur taming page where you can pick one. Its preferred food is Superior Kibble.

Torpor drains at 2.133332 per second once it is unconscious, so the clock starts the moment it goes down.
