The Brute X-Megalodon's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~427 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~28h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~36h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Brute X-Megalodon gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

The Brute X-Megalodon gives live birth after mating, skipping the egg-incubation step entirely. Gestation takes approximately 6 hours and 9 minutes at default rates.

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~2 days and 23 hours (1x rate), progressing requiring significant patience. 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 raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Brute X-Megalodon. Expect ~427 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-Megalodon raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.
