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 ~20 food - refill every ~4 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 Rock Drake
After a successful mate, the Rock Drake lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between -90°C and -80°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 6 hours and 14 minutes.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~3 days and 20 hours (1x rate), progressing over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. 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 ~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 Rock Drake 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 Rock Drake. Budget ~556 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Raising multiple Rock Drake 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 Rock Drake is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Climber category.
Its base Stamina of 450 gives it good endurance. Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. The Rock Drake has 1,950 base Health - extremely durable. It carries 400 base Weight - generous inventory space.
Once tamed, the Rock Drake is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a -90°C–-80°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.82 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
