After a successful mate, the Glowtail lays a fertilized egg.Incubation temperature must stay between 30°C and 34°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.

After hatching or birth, the baby Glowtail matures over a lengthy period, reaching adulthood in about 2 days 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 Glowtail's growth progresses through three stages: 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.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses.At 100% imprint, the Glowtail 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 Glowtail raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste.The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~292 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Glowtail simultaneously?Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically.Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

The Glowtail, a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps.

Stamina sits at 100 base, providing low stamina reserves.With 100% base Melee Damage, the Glowtail has respectable melee power.With 115 base Health, the Glowtail is extremely fragile.It carries 70 base Weight - not built for hauling.

The Glowtail is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out.Its preferred food is Basic Kibble.

Once tamed, the Glowtail is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools.It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 30°C and 34°C.Defeating one in the wild grants 2 base XP.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.05 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
