Baby: The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
More about breeding the Alpha Deathworm
After hatching or birth, the baby Alpha Deathworm matures at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours at 1x maturation. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Alpha Deathworm's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.
Planning a mass raise? The Alpha Deathworm raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple Alpha Deathworm simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
The Alpha Deathworm, a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the Ignore classification.
Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Alpha Deathworm brings decent hitting power to the table. With 27,000 base Health, the Alpha Deathworm is an absolute bullet sponge. Its base Stamina of 100 gives it limited endurance. A base Weight of 100 means modest carrying capacity.
The Alpha Deathworm is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Killing a wild Alpha Deathworm yields 15000 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
