Breeding produces live offspring - no egg management needed.Gestation takes approximately 3 hours and 58 minutes at default rates.

After hatching or birth, the baby Procoptodon 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 Procoptodon'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 Procoptodon 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.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Procoptodon babies through all three growth stages.The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~278 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Procoptodon raises by totaling food across all babies.Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Procoptodon is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

The Procoptodon has 400 base Health - moderately tough.With 100% base Melee Damage, the Procoptodon has decent hitting power.Stamina sits at 350 base, providing solid stamina reserves.Weight capacity starts at 550, giving it an enormous weight pool.

You'll need to knock the Procoptodon unconscious before taming it.Tranquilizers are the standard approach.Rare Mushroom is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Procoptodon has the carrying capacity to serve as a reliable transport mount for heavy loads.Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process.A wild Procoptodon is worth 2 base experience when killed.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.31 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
