The Arthropluera reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. 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.

The baby Arthropluera takes approximately 2 days and 3 hours to fully mature at default rates - over a lengthy period. 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.

The 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 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.

Planning a mass raise? The Arthropluera raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~309 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Arthropluera babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Arthropluera is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Stamina sits at 200 base, providing average stamina. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Arthropluera has respectable melee power. The Arthropluera has 500 base Health - moderately tough. A base Weight of 100 means a reasonable inventory size.

You'll need to knock the Arthropluera unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Spoiled Meat for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Arthropluera fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 18°C and 22°C. A wild 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.
