Breeding the Tek Triceratops produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 22°C and 28°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 29 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Tek Triceratops matures over a lengthy period, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 22 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The Tek Triceratops's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~278 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~23h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Tek Triceratops 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 Tek Triceratops raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~278 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Tek Triceratops simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Tek Triceratops as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Variant classification.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. The Tek Triceratops has 375 base Health - moderately tough. Stamina sits at 150 base, providing average stamina. A base Weight of 365 means a solid weight pool.

To tame the Tek Triceratops, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Simple Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Tek Triceratops is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Tek Triceratops is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
