Planning a mass raise? The Alpha Leedsichthys raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple Alpha Leedsichthys simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. 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.
After hatching or birth, the baby Alpha Leedsichthys matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours 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 Alpha Leedsichthys's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Alpha Leedsichthys gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Alpha Leedsichthys is an aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Ignore group.
Starting at 4,400 Health, it's one of the toughest creatures in the game. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Alpha Leedsichthys has decent hitting power. Its base Stamina of 500 gives it solid stamina reserves. It carries 1800 base Weight - massive inventory space.
The Alpha Leedsichthys roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Defeating one in the wild grants 1500 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
