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 Cruise Missile
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~2 days and 6 hours (1x rate), progressing slowly. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
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 ~327 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~22h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~27h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Cruise Missile gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Cruise Missile. Budget ~327 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Raising multiple Cruise Missile simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
The Cruise Missile, a tamable, flying creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the Ignore classification.
Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Cruise Missile brings decent hitting power to the table. The Cruise Missile has 0 base Health - glass-cannon fragile. Stamina sits at 90 base, providing limited endurance.
After taming, the Cruise Missile is a versatile flyer useful for scouting, traversal, and light transport. Killing a wild Cruise Missile yields 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
