Onyc Egg & Breeding Calculator

Instead of laying eggs, the Onyc carries its young through a gestation period. Gestation takes approximately 4 hours at default rates.

After hatching or birth, the baby Onyc matures over a lengthy period, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 4 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.

The dinosaur is in its mother's womb, requiring time and care from the mother for successful gestation and birth.

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%

5:36:42

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

Adolescent

50% - 100%

7:00:52

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

Raising a baby Onyc involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~168 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~11h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~14h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Onyc'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.

Planning a mass raise? The Onyc raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~168 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Onyc simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. 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 Onyc, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Flyer classification.

The Onyc has 250 base Health - relatively fragile. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Onyc has solid damage output. With 100 base Stamina, the Onyc has tires quickly. A base Weight of 50 means not built for hauling.

This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Raw Mutton.

As a tame, the Onyc is commonly used for scouting and quick travel between locations. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. A wild Onyc is worth 3 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.02 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
