After a successful mate, the VR Dimorphodon lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 35°C and 38°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 21 minutes.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 1 hour (1x rate), progressing over a lengthy period. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The VR Dimorphodon's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~150 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~10h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted VR Dimorphodon 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.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the VR Dimorphodon. Budget ~150 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple VR Dimorphodon simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

The VR Dimorphodon, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.

With 160 base Health, the VR Dimorphodon is on the squishy side. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Dimorphodon brings decent hitting power to the table. Its base Stamina of 1000 gives it massive stamina reserves. Weight capacity starts at 100, giving it a reasonable inventory size.

You'll need to knock the VR Dimorphodon unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Raw Mutton - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the VR Dimorphodon works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 35°C and 38°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 2 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.28 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
