The X-Concavenator is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.

Melee starts at 105% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. The X-Concavenator has 412 base Health - decently sturdy. With 350 base Stamina, the X-Concavenator has good endurance. It carries 325 base Weight - good carrying capacity.

The X-Concavenator is a knockout tame: apply enough Torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the X-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 X-Concavenator. Budget ~278 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Raising multiple X-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.

The X-Concavenator reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. 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 requiring significant patience. 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.

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.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted X-Concavenator gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
