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 X-Ankylosaurus
After a successful mate, the X-Ankylosaurus lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 16°C and 20°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 37 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby X-Ankylosaurus matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 2 days 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 X-Ankylosaurus involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~292 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~24h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the X-Ankylosaurus 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.
Planning a mass raise? The X-Ankylosaurus raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~292 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple X-Ankylosaurus 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 X-Ankylosaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.
At 679 base HP, the X-Ankylosaurus is impressively tough. Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it solid damage output. With 175 base Stamina, the X-Ankylosaurus has decent staying power. A base Weight of 250 means generous inventory space.
To tame the X-Ankylosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the X-Ankylosaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 16°C–20°C temperature window. Killing a wild X-Ankylosaurus yields 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.93 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
