Golden Striped Brute Megalodon
Golden Striped Brute Megalodon Egg & Breeding Calculator
The Golden Striped Brute Megalodon gives live birth after mating, skipping the egg-incubation step entirely. Gestation takes approximately 6 hours and 9 minutes at default rates.
The baby Golden Striped Brute Megalodon takes approximately 2 days and 23 hours to fully mature at default rates - requiring significant patience. 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.
Raising a baby Golden Striped Brute Megalodon involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~427 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~28h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~36h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Golden Striped Brute Megalodon's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Golden Striped Brute Megalodon. Expect ~427 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Golden Striped Brute Megalodon raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
