Aberrant Dimorphodon Egg & Breeding Calculator
The Aberrant Dimorphodon reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 35°C and 38°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 21 minutes.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 1 hour (1x rate), progressing requiring significant patience. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
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.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~150 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~10h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Aberrant Dimorphodon gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. 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 Aberrant Dimorphodon babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~150 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Aberrant Dimorphodon babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

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.
The Aberrant Dimorphodon is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
The Aberrant Dimorphodon has 120 base Health - extremely fragile. Melee starts at 106% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Its base Stamina of 150 gives it moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 50, giving it minimal inventory space.
The Aberrant Dimorphodon is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Raw Mutton - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Aberrant Dimorphodon is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 35°C–38°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.28 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
