Cryolophosaurus Egg

Eggs laid by the Cryolophosaurus

The Cryolophosaurus Egg comes from the Cryolophosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended. The game praises it: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides superior nutritional value in many cooking recipes." Survivors can eat it or turn it into Superior Kibble.

Superior Kibble and the creatures that take it

Superior Kibble made from this egg can be used to tame a long list of creatures, among them the Megalodon, the Argentavis, the Direwolf, the Mammoth, the Tapejara and the Snow Owl. It also works for taming any creature that takes Simple, Basic or Regular Kibble.

Collecting eggs

Cryolophosaurus drop these eggs at random, and the ARK Wiki says they can be gathered from both wild and tamed ones. Picking up an egg near wild Cryolophosaurus turns them hostile, and a wild mother will chase the thief without letting up. With a tamed female, eggs can be taken without any aggression, and she lays more often with an Oviraptor close by and a male Cryolophosaurus nearby to give the Mate Boost.

A baby Cryolophosaurus hatches from the fertilized egg that a mated pair produces. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can shorten incubation by up to 20%.

Weight and spoiling

Each egg weighs 10 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 1000. An egg spoils after 192 hours, which is 8 days, and the wiki gives 1800 seconds for it to decompose.
