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 Ossidon
Instead of laying eggs, the Alpha Ossidon carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 7 hours and 56 minutes at default rates.
The baby Alpha Ossidon takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
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.
The Alpha Ossidon's growth progresses through three stages: 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.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Alpha Ossidon gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
Planning a mass raise? The Alpha Ossidon raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~556 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Alpha Ossidon babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
The Alpha Ossidon, a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the Ignore group.
The Alpha Ossidon has 20,000 base Health - extraordinarily tanky. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Alpha Ossidon brings solid damage output to the table. Stamina sits at 420 base, providing solid stamina reserves. It carries 500 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.
The Alpha Ossidon roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Killing a wild Alpha Ossidon yields 1200 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.89 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
