Breeding the Aberrant Diplodocus produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 26°C and 29°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.

After hatching or birth, the baby Aberrant Diplodocus matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 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.

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.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Aberrant Diplodocus gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

Planning a mass raise? The Aberrant Diplodocus raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Aberrant Diplodocus simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

The Aberrant Diplodocus, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the Variant classification.

With 100% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Diplodocus has solid damage output. The Aberrant Diplodocus has 1,700 base Health - a proper tank. Its base Stamina of 550 gives it good endurance. Weight capacity starts at 800, giving it excellent carrying capacity.

Taming the Aberrant Diplodocus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Aberrant Diplodocus is best used as a pack animal, hauling large amounts of resources between locations. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 26°C and 29°C. A wild Aberrant Diplodocus is worth 6 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
