Breeding the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 12°C and 16°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.
The baby Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius takes approximately 1 day and 13 hours to fully mature at default rates - requiring significant patience. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
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.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius. Expect ~222 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
Stamina sits at 200 base, providing moderate endurance. Dealing 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius brings decent hitting power to the table. The Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius has 269 base Health - relatively fragile. A base Weight of 200 means a reasonable inventory size.
You'll need to knock the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 12°C and 16°C. A wild Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius is worth 6 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
