Variant
Breeding the Corrupted Dimorphodon produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 35°C and 38°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 21 minutes.
The baby Corrupted Dimorphodon takes approximately 1 day and 1 hour to fully mature at default rates - over a lengthy period. 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 Corrupted Dimorphodon's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~150 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~10h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Corrupted Dimorphodon 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.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Corrupted Dimorphodon. Expect ~150 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Corrupted Dimorphodon raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Corrupted Dimorphodon is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the Corrupted Dimorphodon has solid damage output. Starting at 125 Health, it's extremely fragile. With 150 base Stamina, the Corrupted Dimorphodon has average stamina. A base Weight of 50 means not built for hauling.
The Corrupted Dimorphodon roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 35°C and 38°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.28 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
