Variant
Breeding produces live offspring - no egg management needed. Gestation takes approximately 4 hours and 12 minutes at default rates.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~2 days (1x rate), progressing 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.
Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Raising a baby Lost Thylacoleo involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~292 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~24h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Lost Thylacoleo gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. 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 Lost Thylacoleo babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~292 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Lost Thylacoleo babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. 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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Lost Thylacoleo as a carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Variant classification.
With 400 base Stamina, the Lost Thylacoleo has respectable staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. Health-wise, the Lost Thylacoleo sits at 700 base, making it impressively tough. It carries 400 base Weight - generous inventory space.
The Lost Thylacoleo cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. A wild Lost Thylacoleo is worth 5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.5 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
