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 Pirate Pegomastax
After a successful mate, the Pirate Pegomastax lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 28°C and 32°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 8 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby Pirate Pegomastax matures over a lengthy period, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 6 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 Pirate Pegomastax involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~185 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~12h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~15h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Pirate Pegomastax'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 Pirate Pegomastax raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~185 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple Pirate Pegomastax 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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Pirate Pegomastax as a herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Variant classification.
Health-wise, the Pirate Pegomastax sits at 6,000 base, making it an absolute bullet sponge.
The Pirate Pegomastax cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. A wild Pirate Pegomastax is worth 0.5 base experience when killed.
