Lystro Egg

Eggs from the Lystrosaurus

This egg exists in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki says Lystrosaurs drop it at random and that keeping a female Lystro is enough to get one. Our records list both the Lystrosaurus and the Aberrant Lystrosaurus as sources. The description: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides basic nutritional value in many cooking recipes." An egg can be eaten as it is or turned into Basic Kibble.

Basic Kibble for taming

According to the ARK Wiki, the Basic Kibble made with it is for taming the Dodo, Phiomia, Parasaur, Dilophosaur, Mesopithecus, Kairuku, Gloon, Maewing and Maeguana. One warning from the wiki: taking an egg while wild Lystrosaurs are around makes them hostile, and they will go after you.

Hatching a baby Lystrosaurus

When two Lystrosaurs mate, the egg they produce can hatch into a baby Lystrosaurus. Hatching takes 49m 59.76s, and the egg must be kept between 24 and 28 °C (75 to 82 °F); outside that range it starts to lose health. An Egg Incubator set to the ideal temperature can cut incubation by up to 20%. A female needs between 18 hours and 2 days before she can lay again.

Weight, stacking and spoilage

Each egg weighs 3 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 300. An egg spoils after 691200 seconds, which works out to 192 hours or 8 days. Our records list it on 14 maps, among them The Island, Aberration, Genesis Part 1 and Fjordur.
