After a successful mate, the Concavenator lays a fertilized egg. 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.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~1 day and 22 hours (1x rate), progressing slowly. 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.

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 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.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Concavenator is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the DMG classification.

Starting at 425 Health, it's decently sturdy. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Concavenator brings decent hitting power to the table. Stamina sits at 350 base, providing good endurance. A base Weight of 325 means generous inventory space.

You'll need to knock the Concavenator unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Concavenator is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 50°C and 53°C. 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 Concavenator. Budget ~278 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple Concavenator 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.
