Oviraptor Egg

Collecting eggs from the Oviraptor

The Oviraptor Egg is dropped at random by Oviraptors, and our database also lists the Aberrant Oviraptor as a source. It appears in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, with the in-game description "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides simple nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

Eating it or turning it into kibble

The egg can be eaten as it is or used to make Simple Kibble. According to the ARK Wiki, that kibble is a taming food for the Gallimimus, Megaloceros, Archaeopteryx, Diplocaulus and Ichthyosaurus, among others, as well as for anything that eats Basic Kibble.

Breeding and incubation

When two Oviraptors mate, the resulting egg can hatch into a young Oviraptor; the wiki lists a Fertilized Oviraptor Egg as the variant. Hatching lasts 1h 8m 10.582s, and the egg needs between 26 and 30 °C (79 to 86 °F); at other temperatures it starts to lose health. Placing it in an Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can cut that time by up to 20%. A female is ready to lay again after 18h to 2d. Take care around wild Oviraptors: taking an egg in their presence turns them hostile, and they attack.

Weight, stacking and spoil time

An egg weighs 3 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 300. Eggs spoil after 8 days (192 hours). Our records list them on 8 maps, among them The Island, Aberration, Lost Colony and Astraeos.
