The Maewing reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 22°C and 26°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 22 hours (1x rate), progressing over a lengthy period. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.

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 Maewing'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.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Maewing gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Maewing babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~278 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Maewing babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Maewing as a tamable, omnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.

Health-wise, the Maewing sits at 700 base, making it quite durable. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. Stamina sits at 450 base, providing solid stamina reserves. It carries 400 base Weight - a solid weight pool.

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

After taming, the Maewing is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–26°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 2 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.31 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
