The Brute Bloodstalker reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 27°C and 30°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 56 minutes.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~2 days and 6 hours (1x rate), progressing requiring significant patience. 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.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~327 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~22h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~27h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Brute Bloodstalker 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.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Brute Bloodstalker babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~327 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Brute Bloodstalker 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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Brute Bloodstalker as a carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.
The Brute Bloodstalker has 2,600 base Health - a proper tank. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Stamina sits at 550 base, providing good endurance. A base Weight of 400 means good carrying capacity.
The Brute Bloodstalker is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 27°C–30°C temperature window. Killing a wild Brute Bloodstalker yields 100 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.35 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
