Pteranodon Egg

An egg dropped by Pteranodons

Pteranodons drop the Pteranodon Egg at random in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Survivors can eat it or cook with it, as the game's text suggests: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides simple nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

Kibble use

The ARK Wiki lists it as an ingredient for Simple Kibble. That kibble is used to tame creatures such as the Triceratops, Raptor, Iguanodon, Pachy, Gallimimus and Megaloceros, as well as anything that eats Basic Kibble.

Careful near wild Pteranodons

Taking an egg while wild Pteranodons are nearby makes them hostile, and they will attack.

Breeding notes from the wiki

An egg that results from two Pteranodons mating can be hatched into a baby Pteranodon. The wiki gives a hatch time of 1h 39m 59.521s; the egg needs between 29 and 32 °C (84 to 90 °F) and starts losing health outside that band. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature shortens incubation by up to 20%. A female Pteranodon can lay again after 18h to 2d.

Weight and spoilage

Each egg weighs 7 and up to 100 fit in a stack, so a full stack weighs 700. According to the ARK Wiki, it spoils after 28800 seconds. Our records list it on 7 maps, including The Island, Extinction, Ragnarok and Astraeos.
