Breeding the VR Lymantria produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 35°C and 38°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby VR Lymantria matures over a lengthy period, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 6 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.

Raising a baby VR Lymantria involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~185 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~12h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~15h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the VR Lymantria gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

Planning a mass raise? The VR Lymantria raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~185 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple VR Lymantria 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.

Found throughout the ARKs, the VR Lymantria is a flying, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.

With 260 base Health, the VR Lymantria is relatively fragile. With 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Lymantria has respectable melee power. With 150 base Stamina, the VR Lymantria has decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 175, giving it a reasonable inventory size.

The VR Lymantria cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 35°C and 38°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.15 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
