Baby: 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.

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.
More about breeding the Morellatops
Breeding the Morellatops produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 22°C and 28°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 Morellatops takes approximately 1 day and 6 hours to fully mature at default rates - over a lengthy period. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
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.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~185 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~12h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~15h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Morellatops's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. 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 Morellatops. Expect ~185 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Morellatops raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
The Morellatops is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Misc classification.
Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Morellatops sits at 400 base, making it decently sturdy. Stamina sits at 220 base, providing moderate endurance. A base Weight of 440 means generous inventory space.
The Morellatops is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Morellatops is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 22°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Morellatops is worth 4 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.35 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
