Breeding produces live offspring - no egg management needed. Gestation takes approximately 3 hours and 58 minutes at default rates.

After hatching or birth, the baby Abyssal Procoptodon matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 22 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

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 Abyssal Procoptodon'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.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Abyssal Procoptodon gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Abyssal Procoptodon babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~278 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Abyssal Procoptodon raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Abyssal Procoptodon as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. Health-wise, the Abyssal Procoptodon sits at 400 base, making it reasonably durable. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it solid stamina reserves. A base Weight of 550 means an enormous weight pool.

To tame the Abyssal Procoptodon, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Rare Mushroom is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Abyssal Procoptodon combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Killing a wild Abyssal Procoptodon yields 2 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.31 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
