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 R-Daeodon
Instead of laying eggs, the R-Daeodon carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.
The baby R-Daeodon takes approximately 2 days to fully mature at default rates - slowly. 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.
Raising a baby R-Daeodon involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~292 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~24h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the R-Daeodon'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.
Planning a mass raise? The R-Daeodon raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~292 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 R-Daeodon babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
Found throughout the ARKs, the R-Daeodon is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
The R-Daeodon has 873 base Health - quite durable. Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the R-Daeodon brings respectable melee power to the table. Stamina sits at 250 base, providing decent staying power. A base Weight of 400 means generous inventory space.
Taming the R-Daeodon requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the R-Daeodon earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
