The Aberrant Concavenator is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.

With 408 base Health, the Aberrant Concavenator is moderately tough. Melee starts at 106% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. With 350 base Stamina, the Aberrant Concavenator has good endurance. Weight capacity starts at 325, giving it a solid weight pool.

The Aberrant Concavenator is a knockout tame: apply enough Torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Superior Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the Aberrant Concavenator is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 50°C, 53°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Aberrant Concavenator. Expect ~278 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Aberrant Concavenator raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

Maturation has three phases: Baby (0-10%) lasts ~278 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10-50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50-100%) takes ~23h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Aberrant Concavenator'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.

Breeding the Aberrant Concavenator produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 50°C and 53°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 Aberrant Concavenator takes approximately 1 day and 22 hours to fully mature at default rates - slowly. 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.
