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.

At birth, baby holds ~15 food - refill every ~12 min
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 Ember Crystal Wyvern
After a successful mate, the Ember Crystal Wyvern lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 75°C and 85°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby Ember Crystal Wyvern 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.
The Ember Crystal Wyvern'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 Ember Crystal Wyvern 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 Ember Crystal Wyvern 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 Ember Crystal Wyvern babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Ember Crystal Wyvern as a tamable, flying, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
With 1,295 base Health, the Ember Crystal Wyvern is extremely durable. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Stamina sits at 325 base, providing average stamina. A base Weight of 300 means a solid weight pool.
This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Primal Crystal.
As a tame, the Ember Crystal Wyvern works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 75°C–85°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 15 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.85 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
