Planning a mass raise? The Thanatos raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
Raising multiple Thanatos 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.
After hatching or birth, the baby Thanatos matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 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.
Maturation has three phases: 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.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Thanatos'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 Thanatos is one of ARK: Survival Ascended's boss creatures, fought in its own arena with a prepared team. Classified under the Boss group.
Its base Stamina of 100000 gives it exceptional endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Health-wise, the Thanatos sits at 500,000 base, making it an absolute bullet sponge. Weight capacity starts at 100, giving it a reasonable inventory size.
As a tame, the Thanatos is a powerful boss creature encountered in a dedicated arena fight. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
