Aberrant Triceratops
Aberrant Triceratops Egg & Breeding Calculator
Breeding the Aberrant Triceratops produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 22°C and 28°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.
The baby Aberrant Triceratops takes approximately 1 day and 22 hours to fully mature at default rates - slowly. 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.
The Aberrant Triceratops's growth progresses through three stages: 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.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Aberrant Triceratops 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.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Aberrant Triceratops babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~278 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Aberrant Triceratops 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 Triceratops, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It belongs to the Variant category.
With 360 base Health, the Aberrant Triceratops is decently sturdy. Dealing 106% base Melee Damage, the Aberrant Triceratops brings respectable melee power to the table. With 150 base Stamina, the Aberrant Triceratops has average stamina. A base Weight of 365 means generous inventory space.
You'll need to knock the Aberrant Triceratops unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Aberrant Triceratops is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 22°C and 28°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
