Glowtail Egg

Food and kibble from Glowtails

Glowtails drop these eggs at random, according to the ARK Wiki, and our records also name the Glowtail as the creature that drops them. In ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended a Glowtail Egg is either eaten or goes into Simple Kibble. The in-game text calls it nourishing on its own and useful in many cooking recipes.

Simple Kibble and taming

The wiki lists creatures that are tamed with Simple Kibble specifically, among them the Raptor, Triceratops, Pachy, Giant Bee, Megaloceros and Iguanodon, and it adds anything that eats Basic Kibble. Take care when picking up eggs near wild Glowtails: the wiki warns that they turn hostile and attack.

Hatching a baby Glowtail

An egg that results from two Glowtails mating can hatch into a baby Glowtail. It needs between 30 and 34 °C (86 to 93 °F); outside that range it starts losing health. Hatching takes 2h 29m 59.28s, and an Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can cut that by up to 20%. After laying, a female needs between 18 hours and 2 days before she can lay again.

Weight, spoilage and maps

One egg weighs 3, and a full stack of 100 weighs 300. Eggs spoil after 192 hours (8 days). The wiki says the Glowtail Egg was introduced in Aberration and is also found on Lost Island, Valguero, Genesis: Part 2 and Crystal Isles; our records add Astraeos.
