After a successful mate, the Brute Araneo lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 4°C and 12°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Brute Araneo matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 1 hour at 1x maturation. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

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 Brute Araneo'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.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Brute Araneo gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Planning a mass raise? The Brute Araneo raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~150 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 Brute Araneo babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

The Brute Araneo is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.

At 1,850 base HP, the Brute Araneo is a proper tank. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. With 250 base Stamina, the Brute Araneo has average stamina. Weight capacity starts at 200, giving it modest carrying capacity.

The Brute Araneo roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 4°C–12°C temperature window. Killing a wild Brute Araneo yields 2 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.04 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
