Breeding the VR Carnotaurus produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control.Incubation temperature must stay between 26°C and 32°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby VR Carnotaurus matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 22 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 VR Carnotaurus's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~278 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~23h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses.At 100% imprint, the VR Carnotaurus 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 VR Carnotaurus babies through all three growth stages.The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~278 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

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

Found throughout the ARKs, the VR Carnotaurus is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.It belongs to the Variant category.

With 300 base Stamina, the VR Carnotaurus has average stamina.With 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Carnotaurus has respectable melee power.Starting at 420 Health, it's reasonably durable.Weight capacity starts at 300, giving it a solid weight pool.

The VR Carnotaurus roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature.It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 26°C and 32°C.A wild VR Carnotaurus is worth 18 base experience when killed.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
