VR Kaprosuchus
Variant
VR Kaprosuchus Egg & Breeding Calculator
The VR Kaprosuchus reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 29°C and 35°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 59 minutes.
The baby VR Kaprosuchus takes approximately 1 day and 13 hours to fully mature at default rates - requiring significant patience. 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.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~222 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~15h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~19h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the VR Kaprosuchus'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.

Planning a mass raise? The VR Kaprosuchus raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~222 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 VR Kaprosuchus 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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the VR Kaprosuchus as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.
With 200 base Health, the VR Kaprosuchus is on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Stamina sits at 350 base, providing good endurance. A base Weight of 140 means a reasonable inventory size.
To tame the VR Kaprosuchus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the VR Kaprosuchus is a versatile tame with a balanced stat spread, useful in a variety of roles. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–35°C temperature window. A wild VR Kaprosuchus is worth 5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.4 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
