Ice Wyvern
Ice Wyvern Egg & Breeding Calculator
After a successful mate, the Ice Wyvern lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 80°C and 90°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~3 days and 20 hours (1x rate), progressing at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
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 Ice Wyvern's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Ice Wyvern 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 Ice Wyvern. Budget ~556 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Raising multiple Ice Wyvern simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. 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.
The Ice Wyvern is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Flyer classification.
Starting at 1,295 Health, it's among the tougher creatures. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. With 315 base Stamina, the Ice Wyvern has average stamina. Weight capacity starts at 400, giving it generous inventory space.
The Ice Wyvern is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Kibble (Argentavis Egg) for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Ice Wyvern works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 80°C–90°C temperature window. Killing a wild Ice Wyvern yields 120 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.82 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
