The VR Araneo reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating.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.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 1 hour (1x rate), progressing over a lengthy period.During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly.From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.

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 VR 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.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted VR Araneo 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 VR Araneo.Budget ~150 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple VR Araneo simultaneously?Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically.Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the VR Araneo as a carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.Classified under the Variant group.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power.Health-wise, the VR Araneo sits at 150 base, making it relatively fragile.Its base Stamina of 100 gives it low stamina reserves.It carries 100 base Weight - average weight tolerance.

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