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.

At birth, baby holds ~15 food - refill every ~12 min
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 Blood Crystal Wyvern
After a successful mate, the Blood Crystal Wyvern lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 75°C and 85°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby Blood Crystal Wyvern 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. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
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.
Raising a baby Blood Crystal Wyvern involves three maturation 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.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Blood Crystal Wyvern'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.
Planning a mass raise? The Blood Crystal Wyvern raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple Blood Crystal Wyvern simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.
The Blood Crystal Wyvern, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Variant classification.
With 325 base Stamina, the Blood Crystal Wyvern has decent staying power. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Blood Crystal Wyvern has solid damage output. With 1,295 base Health, the Blood Crystal Wyvern is extremely durable. A base Weight of 300 means generous inventory space.
This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Primal Crystal.
As a tame, the Blood Crystal Wyvern is commonly used for scouting and quick travel between locations. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 75°C and 85°C. A wild Blood Crystal Wyvern is worth 15 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.85 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
