Aberrant Moschops Egg & Breeding Calculator
After a successful mate, the Aberrant Moschops 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 Aberrant Moschops matures over a lengthy period, 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.
The Aberrant Moschops's growth progresses through three stages: 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 Aberrant Moschops gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Planning a mass raise? The Aberrant Moschops raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~292 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Aberrant Moschops babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. 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.
The Aberrant Moschops, a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Variant classification.
Its base Stamina of 300 gives it average stamina. With 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Moschops has respectable melee power. The Aberrant Moschops has 360 base Health - moderately tough. A base Weight of 200 means modest carrying capacity.
This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Raw Mutton.
As a tame, the Aberrant Moschops is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 16°C and 20°C. A wild Aberrant Moschops is worth 6 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.5 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
