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 Corrupt Tumor
The baby Corrupt Tumor takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
The Corrupt Tumor'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 Corrupt Tumor 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.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Corrupt Tumor. Expect ~556 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Corrupt Tumor raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Corrupt Tumor as a creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Ignore classification.
Starting at 15,000 Health, it's one of the toughest creatures in the game. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Stamina sits at 100 base, providing low stamina reserves. Weight capacity starts at 100, giving it average weight tolerance.
The Corrupt Tumor roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
