Breeding the Aberrant Parasaur produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 24°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 25 minutes.

The baby Aberrant Parasaur takes approximately 1 day and 2 hours to fully mature at default rates - requiring significant patience. 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.

Raising a baby Aberrant Parasaur involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~159 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~11h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Aberrant Parasaur 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.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Aberrant Parasaur. Expect ~159 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

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

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Parasaur as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.

Its base Stamina of 450 gives it respectable staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Starting at 200 Health, it's not particularly tanky. Weight capacity starts at 480, giving it generous inventory space.

To tame the Aberrant Parasaur, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Aberrant Parasaur earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Aberrant Parasaur is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
