Maturation has three 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 Brute X-Mosasaurus'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.

The Brute X-Mosasaurus gives live birth after mating, skipping the egg-incubation step entirely. Gestation takes approximately 8 hours at default rates.

The baby Brute X-Mosasaurus takes approximately 7 days and 17 hours to fully mature at default rates - at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. 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.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Brute X-Mosasaurus as an aquatic, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.

At 5,300 base HP, the Brute X-Mosasaurus is extraordinarily tanky. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. With 600 base Stamina, the Brute X-Mosasaurus has exceptional endurance. Weight capacity starts at 1800, giving it massive inventory space.

The Brute X-Mosasaurus is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Killing a wild Brute X-Mosasaurus yields 30 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.88 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 X-Mosasaurus. Expect ~1111 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

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