Dilo Egg

Where Dilo Eggs come from

Found in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, the Dilo Egg comes from Dilos, which drop these eggs at random. You can eat one as it is or use it to make Basic Kibble. The game describes it this way: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides basic nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

Taking an egg while wild Dilos are nearby turns them hostile. The ARK Wiki points out that Dilos show up in groups of 4-5, may have a mate boost and spit poison, and it suggests a fast or strong mount, or, on foot, at least chitin armor and a long-range weapon.

Basic Kibble from Dilo Eggs

As an ingredient, the egg goes into Basic Kibble. The ARK Wiki lists the creatures that this kibble is used to tame, among them the Parasaur, Phiomia, Dodo, Maewing and Gloon.

Hatching an egg from mated Dilos

Eggs from two mated Dilos hatch into a baby Dilo after 1h 8m 10.582s. The egg needs between 28 and 32 °C (82 to 90 °F); outside that range it starts to lose health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature shortens incubation by up to 20%. A female Dilo can lay again 18h to 2d after her last egg. The wiki also lists the Fertilized Dilo Egg, the R-Dilo Egg and the Fertilized R-Dilo Egg as variants.

Weight, spoilage and maps

Each egg weighs 3 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 300. The ARK Wiki gives a spoil time of 28800 seconds. Our records list the egg on 7 maps, including The Island, The Center, Ragnarok and Valguero. As an object, it shows up as a red and black egg, unlike the image used for it.
