After a successful mate, the Lymantria lays a fertilized egg.Incubation temperature must stay between 35°C and 38°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 6 hours (1x rate), progressing slowly.Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation.After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The Lymantria's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~185 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~12h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~15h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Lymantria 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.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Lymantria.Expect ~185 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Lymantria raises by totaling food across all babies.Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

The Lymantria, a tamable, flying, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps.

With 260 base Health, the Lymantria is on the squishy side.Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Lymantria brings respectable melee power to the table.With 150 base Stamina, the Lymantria has average stamina.A base Weight of 175 means modest carrying capacity.

Taming the Lymantria requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor.Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Lymantria works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain.It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 35°C and 38°C.Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.15 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
