Baby: The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
More about breeding the Aberrant Ankylosaurus
The Aberrant Ankylosaurus reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 16°C and 20°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 37 minutes.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~2 days (1x rate), progressing slowly. 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.
Raising a baby Aberrant Ankylosaurus involves three maturation phases: 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.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Aberrant Ankylosaurus's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Aberrant Ankylosaurus babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~292 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Aberrant Ankylosaurus babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Ankylosaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
Its base Stamina of 175 gives it decent staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it solid damage output. Starting at 672 Health, it's quite durable. It carries 250 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
To tame the Aberrant Ankylosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Aberrant Ankylosaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 16°C–20°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.93 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
