The Brute Tusoteuthis's growth progresses through three stages: 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.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Brute Tusoteuthis gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

The Brute Tusoteuthis reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between -75°C and 75°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.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~7 days and 17 hours (1x rate), progressing 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.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The Brute Tusoteuthis, an aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps.

The Brute Tusoteuthis has 7,400 base Health - extraordinarily tanky. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Brute Tusoteuthis has respectable melee power. With 450 base Stamina, the Brute Tusoteuthis has solid stamina reserves. A base Weight of 1200 means excellent carrying capacity.

The Brute Tusoteuthis roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between -75°C and 75°C. Killing a wild Brute Tusoteuthis yields 200 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.87 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Brute Tusoteuthis. Budget ~1111 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple Brute Tusoteuthis simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
