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 Lost Desmodus
Breeding produces live offspring - no egg management needed. Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.
After hatching or birth, the baby Lost Desmodus matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 2 days and 23 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.
Raising a baby Lost Desmodus involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~427 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~28h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~36h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Lost Desmodus gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. 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 Lost Desmodus babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~427 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Lost Desmodus 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 Lost Desmodus is a flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
Stamina sits at 500 base, providing respectable staying power. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Lost Desmodus sits at 325 base, making it reasonably durable. It carries 350 base Weight - generous inventory space.
The Lost Desmodus cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. A wild Lost Desmodus is worth 3 base experience when killed.
