Breeding the Aberrant Megalosaurus produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 26°C and 32°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Aberrant Megalosaurus 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.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Aberrant Megalosaurus'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.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Aberrant Megalosaurus babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

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

The Aberrant Megalosaurus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It falls within the Variant classification.

Its base Stamina of 300 gives it moderate endurance. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Megalosaurus brings decent hitting power to the table. At 1,025 base HP, the Aberrant Megalosaurus is quite durable. It carries 300 base Weight - generous inventory space.

You'll need to knock the Aberrant Megalosaurus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Superior Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the Aberrant Megalosaurus is a versatile tame with a balanced stat spread, useful in a variety of roles. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 26°C and 32°C. A wild Aberrant Megalosaurus is worth 25 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.34 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
