Breeding the Pulmonoscorpius produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 12°C and 16°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 59 minutes.

The baby Pulmonoscorpius takes approximately 1 day and 13 hours to fully mature at default rates - requiring significant patience. 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.

Raising a baby Pulmonoscorpius involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~222 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~15h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~19h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Pulmonoscorpius's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. 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 Pulmonoscorpius. Expect ~222 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Pulmonoscorpius 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 Pulmonoscorpius as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Misc group.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Health-wise, the Pulmonoscorpius sits at 280 base, making it on the squishy side. Its base Stamina of 200 gives it decent staying power. It carries 200 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.

To tame the Pulmonoscorpius, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the Pulmonoscorpius earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 12°C–16°C temperature window. Killing a wild Pulmonoscorpius yields 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
