After a successful mate, the Aberrant Arthropluera lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 18°C and 22°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 29 minutes.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~2 days and 3 hours (1x rate), progressing requiring significant patience. 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 Aberrant Arthropluera's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~309 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~21h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~26h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Aberrant Arthropluera 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 Aberrant Arthropluera. Budget ~309 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple Aberrant Arthropluera 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 Aberrant Arthropluera is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.

With 200 base Stamina, the Aberrant Arthropluera has average stamina. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. The Aberrant Arthropluera has 500 base Health - reasonably durable. Weight capacity starts at 100, giving it a reasonable inventory size.

The Aberrant Arthropluera is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Spoiled Meat for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Aberrant Arthropluera fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 18°C–22°C temperature window. A wild Aberrant Arthropluera is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.2 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
