Moschops Egg

The egg of the Moschops

The Moschops Egg comes from the Moschops in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and our records list the Aberrant Moschops as a second source. Its description reads: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides superior nutritional value in many cooking recipes." A survivor can eat it as it is or use it to make Superior Kibble. The ARK Wiki also lists fertilized variants from both the Moschops and the Aberrant Moschops.

Collecting eggs

Moschops drop these eggs at random. Picking one up while wild Moschops are nearby makes them flee rather than attack, and the wiki adds that they never fight back, so collecting is relatively safe. The wiki's easier route is to tame a male and a female and gather their eggs, instead of searching the wild for one.

Superior Kibble for taming

As a Superior Kibble ingredient, the egg feeds into taming a long list of creatures. The wiki names, among others, the Argentavis, Megalodon, Castoroides, Direwolf, Mammoth, Snow Owl and Woolly Rhino, plus anything that eats Basic, Simple or Regular Kibble.

Hatching a fertilized egg

When two Moschops mate, the fertilized egg hatches into a baby Moschops. Hatching takes 2h 37m 52.927s, and the egg has to stay between 16 and 20 °C (61 to 68 °F); outside that range it begins to lose Health. In an Egg Incubator kept at the ideal temperature, the time drops by up to 20%. A female needs 18 hours to 2 days before she can lay again.

Spoilage and weight

An egg spoils after 192 hours, or 8 days. Each weighs 5 and a stack holds 100, so a full stack weighs 500. Our records list the egg on 14 maps.
