Planning a mass raise? The Kraken raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~556 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Kraken babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

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.
After hatching or birth, the baby Kraken matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours at 1x maturation. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Raising a baby Kraken involves three maturation phases: 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.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Kraken'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 Kraken is one of ARK: Survival Ascended's boss creatures, fought in its own arena with a prepared team. It falls within the Boss classification.
Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Kraken sits at 42,000 base, making it one of the toughest creatures in the game. With 100 base Stamina, the Kraken has tires quickly. It carries 100 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.
Once tamed, the Kraken guards its arena fiercely - come prepared with your best creatures and gear. A wild Kraken is worth 3000 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
