Parasaur Egg

Eggs laid by Parasaurs

Parasaurs in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended drop the Parasaur Egg at random, according to the ARK Wiki, and our records also list the Aberrant Parasaur as a source. The in-game text says: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides basic nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

Food and kibble

The egg can be eaten as it is or turned into Basic Kibble, which the wiki lists for taming the Dodo, Phiomia, Parasaur, Dilophosaur, Kairuku, Mesopithecus, Gloon, Maewing and Maeguana.

Hatching a baby Parasaur

When two Parasaurs mate, the egg they produce can hatch into a baby Parasaur. The wiki gives a hatch time of 1h 25m 42.446s, with the egg kept between 24 and 28 °C (75 to 82 °F); outside that range it begins to lose health. An Egg Incubator at the ideal temperature can cut incubation by up to 20%. A female Parasaur can lay again after 18h to 2d. The wiki also lists variant eggs such as the Fertilized Aberrant Parasaur Egg, Fertilized X-Parasaur Egg and R-Parasaur Egg.

Taking eggs from wild Parasaurs

Picking up an egg while wild Parasaurs are near makes them hostile. Armed with a spear or pike, wearing some clothing and carrying a blood bag or two, a survivor can handle a single Parasaur. A group is harder: they gang up on thieves and can outrun survivors as well as many land mounts. For a getaway the wiki suggests a flying mount, or a water mount, since in many areas Parasaurs can be found near shores and rivers.

Weight and spoilage

An egg weighs 5 and eggs stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 500. The wiki gives a spoil time of 28800 seconds. Our records list the egg on 14 maps.
