Megachelon Egg

An egg laid by the Megachelon

The Megachelon Egg comes from the Megachelon and is in our database for both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Genesis: Part 1 content, and the ARK Wiki notes that Lost Island has it as well. The in-game description reads: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides exceptional nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

Eating it or turning it into kibble

Megachelons drop these eggs at random. Take care when collecting one: picking up an egg near wild Megachelons turns them hostile, and they go after the survivor who took it. The egg can be eaten as it is, or used to make Exceptional Kibble. The wiki lists many creatures tamed with that kibble, for example the Rex, Giganotosaurus, Quetzal, Mosasaurus, Managarmr and Yi Ling, and adds that it also works for taming anything that eats Superior Kibble, Regular Kibble, Simple Kibble or Basic Kibble.

Hatching a baby Megachelon

When two Megachelons mate, the egg they produce hatches into a baby Megachelon. Hatching takes 4h 59m 58.56s, and the egg has to be kept between -75 and 75 °C (-103 to 167 °F); outside that range it begins to lose health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can cut the incubation time by as much as 20%. A female needs between 18 hours and 2 days before she is able to lay again.

Weight and spoilage

An egg weighs 50, and they stack to 100, which puts a full stack at 5000. Our records give a spoil time of 192 hours, or 8 days.
