Breeding produces live offspring - no egg management needed.Gestation takes approximately 5 hours at default rates.

After hatching or birth, the baby Aberrant Doedicurus matures slowly, reaching adulthood in about 2 days and 9 hours at 1x maturation.The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The Aberrant Doedicurus's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~347 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~23h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~29h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses.At 100% imprint, the Aberrant Doedicurus 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.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Aberrant Doedicurus babies through all three growth stages.The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~347 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Aberrant Doedicurus raises by totaling food across all babies.Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Doedicurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.It falls within the Variant classification.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power.Starting at 850 Health, it's solidly tanky.Stamina sits at 300 base, providing average stamina.A base Weight of 250 means a solid weight pool.

To tame the Aberrant Doedicurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down.For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the Aberrant Doedicurus is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools.It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward.Killing a wild Aberrant Doedicurus yields 7 base XP.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.83 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
