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 Tek Parasaur
After a successful mate, the Tek Parasaur lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 24°C and 28°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby Tek Parasaur matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 2 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 Tek Parasaur involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~159 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~11h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Tek Parasaur'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 Tek Parasaur raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~159 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple Tek Parasaur 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 Tek Parasaur, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
Stamina sits at 450 base, providing respectable staying power. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Tek Parasaur brings respectable melee power to the table. Starting at 200 Health, it's on the squishy side. A base Weight of 480 means good carrying capacity.
You'll need to knock the Tek Parasaur unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Tek Parasaur earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 24°C and 28°C. Killing a wild Tek Parasaur yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
