Easter Dino Candy — Detailed Guide
An Easter treat for tames
Easter Dino Candy is one of the 
Dino Candy items from the events of ARK: Survival Evolved. Its description: "A unique candy with a curious effect that few dino's can passover." The ARK Wiki covers every Dino Candy on one page, and explains that they let a tamed creature take on random colors.
What happens when a tame eats it
Force-feed the candy to a tame and it shows a random color pattern that lasts 20 hours, and the candy reveals the exact color for each of the 6 regions it dyes. Grades other than Ascendant pick from a set pool of colors. The candy also adds a temporary movement speed bonus by quality:
- Primitive: +5%
- Mastercraft: +10%
- Ascendant: +15%
Paint still works on top of the candy's colors, with a 
Spray Painter or a Paint Brush. When the effect runs out, or after the creature goes into a 
Cryopod and comes back out, it returns to its own colors, and offspring never inherit the candy colors.
Getting candy and carrying it
For candy in general, the wiki lists drops from 
Bunny Oviraptors and from a female creature laying a fertilized egg among its sources, without tying them to the Easter candy. Candy does not stay in the game once its event is over. In our records, Easter Dino Candy weighs 0.1, has a stack size of 1 and appears on 12 maps, among them The Island, Scorched Earth, Lost Island and Fjordur.
