The VR Chalicotherium gives live birth after mating, skipping the egg-incubation step entirely. Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~3 days and 10 hours (1x rate), progressing over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. 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.

Raising a baby VR Chalicotherium involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~494 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~33h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~41h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the VR Chalicotherium's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the VR Chalicotherium. Budget ~494 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple VR Chalicotherium 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 VR Chalicotherium, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.

Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Chalicotherium brings solid damage output to the table. At 600 base HP, the VR Chalicotherium is impressively tough. With 300 base Stamina, the VR Chalicotherium has decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 400, giving it generous inventory space.

This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Basic Kibble.

As a tame, the VR Chalicotherium can serve multiple roles depending on how you level its stats after taming. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.27 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
