X-Spino
X-Spino Egg & Breeding Calculator
The X-Spino reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 30°C and 32°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes.
The baby X-Spino takes approximately 2 days and 23 hours 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 X-Spino's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~427 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~28h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~36h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted X-Spino 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 X-Spino raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~427 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 X-Spino 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 X-Spino as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Variant classification.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it solid damage output. Health-wise, the X-Spino sits at 781 base, making it quite durable. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it solid stamina reserves. A base Weight of 350 means generous inventory space.
To tame the X-Spino, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Exceptional Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the X-Spino is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 30°C–32°C temperature window. Killing a wild X-Spino yields 60 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
