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 Manticore (Gamma)
After hatching or birth, the baby Manticore (Gamma) matures over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment, 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.
The Manticore (Gamma)'s growth progresses through three stages: 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.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Manticore (Gamma) gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.
Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Manticore (Gamma) 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 Manticore (Gamma) raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.
In ARK: Survival Ascended, the Manticore (Gamma) is a boss-tier enemy encountered during an arena battle. It belongs to the Boss category.
Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Health-wise, the Manticore (Gamma) sits at 100,000 base, making it an absolute bullet sponge. It carries 3000 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.
A wild Manticore (Gamma) is worth 3000 base experience when killed.
