Malwyn Egg & Breeding Calculator
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~2 days (1x rate), progressing slowly. 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.
The Malwyn's growth progresses through three stages: 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 Malwyn 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.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Malwyn 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 Malwyn 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 Malwyn as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the DMG category.
The Malwyn has 850 base Health - solidly tanky. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. With 350 base Stamina, the Malwyn has solid stamina reserves. It carries 425 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
To tame the Malwyn, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Raw Mutton - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Malwyn is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Defeating one in the wild grants 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.58 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
