Variant · 1 map
The X-Yutyrannus reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 32°C and 34°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.
The baby X-Yutyrannus takes approximately 7 days and 17 hours to fully mature at default rates - over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. 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.
Raising a baby X-Yutyrannus involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~1111 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~74h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~93h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the X-Yutyrannus's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Planning a mass raise? The X-Yutyrannus raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~1111 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-Yutyrannus 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.
The X-Yutyrannus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It belongs to the Variant category.
Its base Stamina of 420 gives it respectable staying power. Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Yutyrannus brings decent hitting power to the table. Starting at 1,067 Health, it's solidly tanky. A base Weight of 500 means an enormous weight pool.
You'll need to knock the X-Yutyrannus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Extraordinary Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the X-Yutyrannus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 32°C and 34°C. A wild X-Yutyrannus is worth 30 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.94 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
