X-Deinosuchus Egg & Breeding Calculator
After a successful mate, the X-Deinosuchus lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 30°C and 34°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 29 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby X-Deinosuchus 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 X-Deinosuchus'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 X-Deinosuchus 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 X-Deinosuchus 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.
The X-Deinosuchus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
Its base Stamina of 300 gives it moderate endurance. Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Deinosuchus brings decent hitting power to the table. Starting at 970 Health, it's quite durable. Weight capacity starts at 600, giving it an enormous weight pool.
The X-Deinosuchus is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Superior Kibble.
Once tamed, the X-Deinosuchus pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 30°C and 34°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.87 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
