After a successful mate, the Malfunctioned Tek Raptor lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 20°C and 28°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 59 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Malfunctioned Tek Raptor matures over a lengthy period, reaching adulthood in about 1 day and 13 hours at 1x maturation. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The Malfunctioned Tek Raptor, a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps.

Its base Stamina of 150 gives it decent staying power. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Malfunctioned Tek Raptor has decent hitting power. With 200 base Health, the Malfunctioned Tek Raptor is not particularly tanky. A base Weight of 140 means modest carrying capacity.

The Malfunctioned Tek Raptor cannot be tamed and must be dealt with through combat or avoidance. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 20°C and 28°C. A wild Malfunctioned Tek Raptor is worth 3 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.

Planning a mass raise? The Malfunctioned Tek Raptor raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~222 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Malfunctioned Tek Raptor simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

Raising a baby Malfunctioned Tek Raptor involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~222 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~15h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~19h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Malfunctioned Tek Raptor's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
