Skeletal Quetzal Egg & Breeding Calculator

After a successful mate, the Skeletal Quetzal lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 5°C and 6°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 16 hours and 39 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Skeletal Quetzal matures over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment, reaching adulthood in about 5 days and 12 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 dino is inside an egg, needing specific conditions to incubate and hatch. The ideal temperature range is 5 - 6 °C.

Baby

13:13:39

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%

52:54:36

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

Adolescent

50% - 100%

66:08:15

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

The Skeletal Quetzal's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~794 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~53h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~66h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Skeletal Quetzal 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.

Planning a mass raise? The Skeletal Quetzal raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~794 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Skeletal Quetzal 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.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Skeletal Quetzal is a flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Ignore category.

Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Skeletal Quetzal brings respectable melee power to the table. At 18,000 base HP, the Skeletal Quetzal is an absolute bullet sponge. Its base Stamina of 750 gives it massive stamina reserves. Weight capacity starts at 780, giving it excellent carrying capacity.

The Skeletal Quetzal roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 5°C and 6°C. A wild Skeletal Quetzal is worth 18 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.98 Element plus 0.1 Element per level.
