Baby: The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

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.
More about breeding the Baryonyx
After a successful mate, the Baryonyx lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 29°C and 35°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.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 22 hours (1x rate), progressing requiring significant patience. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
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 ~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.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Baryonyx gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Baryonyx. Budget ~278 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Raising multiple Baryonyx simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Baryonyx as a tamable, piscivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the DMG category.
Starting at 440 Health, it's reasonably durable. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Stamina sits at 325 base, providing moderate endurance. A base Weight of 325 means generous inventory space.
To tame the Baryonyx, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Baryonyx is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–35°C temperature window. A wild Baryonyx is worth 5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.52 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
