Winter Drakeling Egg & Breeding Calculator

The Winter Drakeling reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between -40°C and -37°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 14 minutes.

The baby Winter Drakeling takes approximately 1 day and 1 hour to fully mature at default rates - slowly. 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 dino is inside an egg, needing specific conditions to incubate and hatch. The ideal temperature range is -40 - -37 °C.

Baby

0% - 10%

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%

10:00:36

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

Adolescent

50% - 100%

12:30:45

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

The Winter Drakeling's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~150 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~10h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Winter Drakeling 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.

Planning a mass raise? The Winter Drakeling raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~150 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 Winter Drakeling 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 Winter Drakeling as a tamable, flying, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Shoulder Pet category.

Its base Stamina of 150 gives it average stamina. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. The Winter Drakeling has 150 base Health - not particularly tanky. Weight capacity starts at 65, giving it very limited carrying capacity.

As a tame, the Winter Drakeling works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a -40°C–-37°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.28 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
