Oviraptor Egg & Breeding Calculator
Breeding the Oviraptor produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 26°C and 30°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 8 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby Oviraptor matures over the course of several hours, reaching adulthood in about 21 hours and 2 minutes at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
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 Oviraptor involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~126 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~8h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~11h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Oviraptor 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 Oviraptor babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~126 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Oviraptor raises by totaling food across all babies. 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 Oviraptor as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Farmer category.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. The Oviraptor has 140 base Health - glass-cannon fragile. Its base Stamina of 120 gives it tires quickly. A base Weight of 100 means modest carrying capacity.
To tame the Oviraptor, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Extraordinary Dinosaur Egg is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the Oviraptor earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 26°C–30°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.6 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
