The VR Terror Bird reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating.Incubation temperature must stay between 20°C and 28°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 59 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 VR Terror Bird'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 VR Terror Bird 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 VR Terror Bird 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 VR Terror Bird 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.

The VR Terror Bird, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps.Classified under the Variant group.

With 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Terror Bird has decent hitting power.Starting at 270 Health, it's on the squishy side.Its base Stamina of 160 gives it average stamina.It carries 120 base Weight - modest carrying capacity.

Taming the VR Terror Bird requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor.For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the VR Terror Bird fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs.It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 20°C and 28°C.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.36 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
