Aberrant Sarco Egg & Breeding Calculator
The Aberrant Sarco reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 30°C and 34°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 29 minutes.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 22 hours (1x rate), progressing over a lengthy period. 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.
Raising a baby Aberrant Sarco involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~278 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~23h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Aberrant Sarco's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Aberrant Sarco babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~278 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 Sarco 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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Aberrant Sarco is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.
Stamina sits at 450 base, providing respectable staying power. With 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Sarco has respectable melee power. Health-wise, the Aberrant Sarco sits at 384 base, making it moderately tough. Weight capacity starts at 300, giving it good carrying capacity.
You'll need to knock the Aberrant Sarco unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the Aberrant Sarco earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 30°C and 34°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.22 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
