Gallimimus Egg

Eggs from the Gallimimus

The Gallimimus Egg is a food item and a kibble ingredient in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game's description: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides simple nutritional value in many cooking recipes." Gallimimuses drop these eggs at random, and our records list the egg on 8 maps, among them The Island, Scorched Earth, Astraeos and Valguero.

Eating it or making Simple Kibble

You can eat the egg as it is or use it to make Simple Kibble. The ARK Wiki lists that kibble for taming creatures such as the Triceratops, Raptor, Iguanodon, Giant Bee and Megaloceros, along with the Gallimimus itself, and for any creature that takes Basic Kibble.

Taking eggs near wild Gallimimuses

Picking up an egg near wild Gallimimuses turns them hostile, and they will attack. The wiki points out that they are very fast, so outrunning them is not an option. Fighting back is the answer, and their low base health and damage keep that manageable even for new players.

Hatching and incubation

The wiki lists a Fertilized Gallimimus Egg as a variant. It also says that an egg produced when two Gallimimuses mate can hatch into a baby Gallimimus, and it gives a hatching time of 1h 25m 42.446s. The egg needs between 24 and 28 °C (75 to 82 °F); outside that range it starts losing health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can cut incubation by up to 20%. After laying, a female takes between 18h and 2d before she can lay again.

Weight and spoilage

An egg weighs 5 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 500. It spoils after 192 hours (8 days).
