After a successful mate, the Alpha T-Rex lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 32°C and 34°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~3 days and 20 hours (1x rate), progressing over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

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.

Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Alpha T-Rex's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Alpha T-Rex. Budget ~556 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple Alpha T-Rex simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

The Alpha T-Rex is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.

The Alpha T-Rex has 17,500 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. Its base Stamina of 420 gives it good endurance. Weight capacity starts at 500, giving it an enormous weight pool.

The Alpha T-Rex is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 32°C–34°C temperature window. A wild Alpha T-Rex is worth 885 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.87 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
