Aberrant Dung Beetle Egg & Breeding Calculator

After hatching or birth, the baby Aberrant Dung Beetle matures at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment, 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 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.

Juvenile

10% - 50%

37:02:13

The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.

Adolescent

50% - 100%

46:17:46

The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

Maturation has three phases: 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.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Aberrant Dung Beetle 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.

Planning a mass raise? The Aberrant Dung Beetle raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Aberrant Dung Beetle 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.

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.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Dung Beetle as a tamable, coprophagic creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.

With 100 base Stamina, the Aberrant Dung Beetle has limited endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it decent hitting power. Starting at 192 Health, it's not particularly tanky. Weight capacity starts at 5, giving it minimal inventory space.

Taming the Aberrant Dung Beetle doesn't require unconsciousness. Instead, sneak up to it and hand-feed its preferred food. Its preferred food is Large Animal Feces.

After taming, the Aberrant Dung Beetle is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.9 Element plus 0 Element per level.
