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

The baby R-Daeodon takes approximately 2 days to fully mature at default rates - slowly.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 R-Daeodon involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~292 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~24h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the R-Daeodon'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.

Planning a mass raise?The R-Daeodon raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste.Expect ~292 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 R-Daeodon 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 R-Daeodon is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.It belongs to the Variant category.

The R-Daeodon has 900 base Health - quite durable.Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the R-Daeodon brings respectable melee power to the table.Stamina sits at 250 base, providing decent staying power.A base Weight of 400 means generous inventory space.

Taming the R-Daeodon requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor.Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the R-Daeodon can serve multiple roles depending on how you level its stats after taming.Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process.Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
