Zomdodo
The baby Zomdodo takes approximately 15 hours and 25 minutes to fully mature at default rates - over the course of several hours. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Zomdodo babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~93 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Zomdodo raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

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.
Raising a baby Zomdodo involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~93 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~6h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~8h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Zomdodo'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.
The Zomdodo is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Ignore category.
Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Starting at 700 Health, it's quite durable. Its base Stamina of 1000 gives it outstanding staying power. It carries 170 base Weight - average weight tolerance.
After taming, the Zomdodo earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. A wild Zomdodo is worth 0.5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.01 Element plus 0 Element per level.
