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 Coelacanth
After hatching or birth, the baby Aberrant Coelacanth matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 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.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Aberrant Coelacanth gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Aberrant Coelacanth babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Aberrant Coelacanth raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.
The Aberrant Coelacanth, an aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
Its base Stamina of 100 gives it limited endurance. With 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Coelacanth has respectable melee power. With 29 base Health, the Aberrant Coelacanth is very frail. A base Weight of 8 means very limited carrying capacity.
The Aberrant Coelacanth is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Defeating one in the wild grants 0.5 base XP.
