After a successful mate, the Brute Araneo lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 4°C and 12°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 1 hour (1x rate), progressing over a lengthy period. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

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.

The Brute Araneo 's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~150 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~10h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~13h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Brute Araneo 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 Araneo is a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Starting at 1,850 Health, it's extremely durable. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. With 250 base Stamina, the Brute Araneo has average stamina. A base Weight of 200 means average weight tolerance.

The Brute Araneo roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 4°C–12°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.04 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 Araneo . Budget ~150 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple Brute Araneo 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.
