Planning a mass raise? The Skeletal Bronto raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~556 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Skeletal Bronto babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. 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 baby Skeletal Bronto takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
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 Skeletal Bronto's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Skeletal Bronto gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Skeletal Bronto is a herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Ignore classification.
Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Skeletal Bronto brings decent hitting power to the table. With 34,500 base Health, the Skeletal Bronto is one of the toughest creatures in the game. With 240 base Stamina, the Skeletal Bronto has average stamina. A base Weight of 1600 means an enormous weight pool.
The Skeletal Bronto roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Killing a wild Skeletal Bronto yields 22 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.79 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
