Bloodstalker Egg

Where Bloodstalker Eggs come from

A Bloodstalker Egg appears after two Bloodstalkers mate, and hatching it gives a baby Bloodstalker. The egg has records in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended; the ARK Wiki says it arrived with Genesis: Part 1 and can be found on Genesis: Part 2 as well. Its description: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides superior nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

Be careful when you pick one up: wild Bloodstalkers nearby turn hostile and go after the survivor who took it.

Incubating the egg

Hatching takes 2h 56m 27.388s. The egg needs between 27 and 30 °C (81 to 86 °F); outside that range it starts losing health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can shorten incubation by up to 20%. The wiki also notes that a heat source close to the egg, a Dimetrodon for example, had to be present to incubate it where it lay. After laying, a female needs between 18 hours and 2 days before she can lay again.

The hatchling's diet

A baby Bloodstalker eats raw meat, not cooked meat, and works through blood packs more slowly than it does meat. The wiki also points out that this was the first egg with an animated look, and that its hatching sound is different.

Weight and spoil time

Each egg weighs 8 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 800. An egg spoils after 8 days, or 192 hours.
