The Corrupted Arthropluera reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 18°C and 22°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 ~2 days and 3 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.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~309 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~21h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~26h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Corrupted Arthropluera's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. 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 Corrupted Arthropluera babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~309 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Corrupted Arthropluera 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.
The Corrupted Arthropluera, a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
At 500 base HP, the Corrupted Arthropluera is moderately tough. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Corrupted Arthropluera brings respectable melee power to the table. Its base Stamina of 200 gives it moderate endurance. It carries 100 base Weight - modest carrying capacity.
The Corrupted Arthropluera is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 18°C and 22°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.2 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
