The Bulbdog Ghost gives live birth after mating, skipping the egg-incubation step entirely. Gestation takes approximately 4 hours and 12 minutes at default rates.

The baby Bulbdog Ghost takes approximately 2 days to fully mature at default rates - slowly. 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.

Maturation has three 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 Bulbdog Ghost's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Bulbdog Ghost. Expect ~292 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Bulbdog Ghost raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

The Bulbdog Ghost is an omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Its base Stamina of 200 gives it moderate endurance. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Bulbdog Ghost sits at 145 base, making it glass-cannon fragile. It carries 120 base Weight - modest carrying capacity.

The Bulbdog Ghost is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Defeating one in the wild grants 2 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.05 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
