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 Corrupted Dilophosaur
The baby Corrupted Dilophosaur takes approximately 21 hours and 2 minutes to fully mature at default rates - over a moderate period. 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.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~126 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~8h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~11h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Corrupted Dilophosaur'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.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Corrupted Dilophosaur. Expect ~126 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Corrupted Dilophosaur raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
The Corrupted Dilophosaur is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.
At 130 base HP, the Corrupted Dilophosaur is extremely fragile. Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Its base Stamina of 100 gives it limited endurance. It carries 45 base Weight - minimal inventory space.
The Corrupted Dilophosaur is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Defeating one in the wild grants 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.12 Element plus 0 Element per level.
