Doedicurus Egg & Breeding Calculator
The baby Doedicurus takes approximately 2 days and 9 hours to fully mature at default rates - slowly. 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.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~347 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~23h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~29h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Doedicurus 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 Doedicurus babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~347 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Doedicurus raises by totaling food across all babies. 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 Doedicurus, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Farmer classification.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the Doedicurus has solid damage output. With 850 base Health, the Doedicurus is quite durable. With 300 base Stamina, the Doedicurus has moderate endurance. A base Weight of 250 means a solid weight pool.
Taming the Doedicurus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the Doedicurus is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Killing a wild Doedicurus yields 7 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.83 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
