The Abyssal Moschops reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 16°C and 20°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 37 minutes.

The baby Abyssal Moschops takes approximately 2 days to fully mature at default rates - 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.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The Abyssal Moschops's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~292 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~24h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Abyssal Moschops 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 Abyssal Moschops babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~292 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Abyssal Moschops 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.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Abyssal Moschops is a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.

Its base Stamina of 300 gives it average stamina. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Abyssal Moschops brings respectable melee power to the table. Health-wise, the Abyssal Moschops sits at 375 base, making it moderately tough. It carries 200 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.

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 Raw Mutton.

As a tame, the Abyssal Moschops is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 16°C and 20°C. A wild Abyssal Moschops is worth 6 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.5 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
