Instead of laying eggs, the Aberrant Paraceratherium carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.

The baby Aberrant Paraceratherium takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. 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.

Raising a baby Aberrant Paraceratherium involves three maturation 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 Paraceratherium'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.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Aberrant Paraceratherium babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~556 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Aberrant Paraceratherium 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.

The Aberrant Paraceratherium is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.

With 300 base Stamina, the Aberrant Paraceratherium has decent staying power. Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. With 1,026 base Health, the Aberrant Paraceratherium is impressively tough. It carries 850 base Weight - massive inventory space.

The Aberrant Paraceratherium is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Superior Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the Aberrant Paraceratherium excels at logistics - load it up and move materials where they're needed. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Defeating one in the wild grants 12 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.66 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
