The Malfunctioned Tek Giganotosaurus reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 43°C and 44°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 days and 1 hour.

The baby Malfunctioned Tek Giganotosaurus takes approximately 10 days and 3 hours to fully mature at default rates - over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. 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.

Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~1464 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~98h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~122h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Malfunctioned Tek Giganotosaurus 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.

Planning a mass raise? The Malfunctioned Tek Giganotosaurus raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~1464 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 Malfunctioned Tek Giganotosaurus 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 Malfunctioned Tek Giganotosaurus as a carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.

Starting at 80,000 Health, it's extraordinarily tanky. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Stamina sits at 400 base, providing good endurance. It carries 700 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.

The Malfunctioned Tek Giganotosaurus is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 43°C–44°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 200 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
