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 Arthropluera
The Arthropluera reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 18°C and 22°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 29 minutes.
The baby Arthropluera takes approximately 2 days and 3 hours to fully mature at default rates - 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.
Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
The Arthropluera's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~309 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~21h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~26h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Arthropluera 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.
Planning a mass raise? The Arthropluera raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~309 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Arthropluera babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Arthropluera is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the DMG classification.
Stamina sits at 200 base, providing average stamina. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Arthropluera has respectable melee power. The Arthropluera has 500 base Health - moderately tough. A base Weight of 100 means a reasonable inventory size.
The Arthropluera is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Broth of Enlightenment.
Once tamed, the Arthropluera is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 18°C and 22°C. A wild Arthropluera is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.2 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
