Lightning Arthropluera Egg & Breeding Calculator

The Lightning Arthropluera reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 18°C and 22°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 29 minutes.

The baby Lightning Arthropluera takes approximately 2 days and 3 hours to fully mature at default rates - over a lengthy period. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.

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.

The dino is inside an egg, needing specific conditions to incubate and hatch. The ideal temperature range is 18 - 22 °C.

5:08:38

The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

Juvenile

10% - 50%

20:34:34

The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.

Adolescent

50% - 100%

25:43:12

The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

The Lightning Arthropluera's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~309 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~21h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~26h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Lightning Arthropluera gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Planning a mass raise? The Lightning Arthropluera raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~309 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 Lightning Arthropluera 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.

The Lightning Arthropluera, a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the Variant classification.

Stamina sits at 200 base, providing average stamina. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Lightning Arthropluera brings solid damage output to the table. The Lightning Arthropluera has 500 base Health - moderately tough. It carries 100 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.

The Lightning Arthropluera roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 18°C and 22°C. A wild Lightning Arthropluera is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.2 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
