Aberrant Megalania Egg & Breeding Calculator

Breeding the Aberrant Megalania produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 29°C and 35°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 59 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Aberrant Megalania matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 13 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 dino is inside an egg, needing specific conditions to incubate and hatch. The ideal temperature range is 29 - 35 °C.

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%

14:48:53

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

Adolescent

50% - 100%

18:31:06

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 ~222 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~15h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~19h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Aberrant Megalania 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 Megalania babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~222 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Aberrant Megalania raises by totaling food across all babies. 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 Megalania is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.

Starting at 461 Health, it's moderately tough. Melee starts at 106% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. With 400 base Stamina, the Aberrant Megalania has good endurance. A base Weight of 400 means good carrying capacity.

The Aberrant Megalania is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Extraordinary Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Aberrant Megalania is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–35°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.85 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
