Raptor Egg

An egg Raptors leave behind

Raptors drop Raptor Eggs at random in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and our records name the Aberrant Raptor as a source as well. The game describes the egg this way: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides simple nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

Eating it or making kibble

Besides being eaten, the egg can go into Simple Kibble. The ARK Wiki lists that kibble for taming creatures such as the Triceratops, Iguanodon, Gallimimus, Pachy, Megaloceros and the Raptor itself, and for any creature that eats Basic Kibble.

Hatching notes from the wiki

The wiki lists fertilized variants: the Fertilized Raptor Egg, the Fertilized Aberrant Raptor Egg and the Fertilized X-Raptor Egg. An egg laid after two Raptors mate can hatch into a baby Raptor. Hatching takes 1h 59m 59.424s. Keep the egg between 20 and 28 °C (68 to 82 °F); outside that range it loses health. In an Egg Incubator set to the best temperature, incubation can be up to 20% shorter. Females can lay again after somewhere between 18 hours and 2 days.

Collecting, weight and spoiling

Grabbing an egg while wild Raptors are near makes them hostile. Each egg weighs 7, and a full stack of 100 weighs 700. The ARK Wiki gives a spoil time of 28800 seconds. Our records list 9 maps for it, among them Scorched Earth, Aberration and Lost Colony. The wiki also notes that in ASE, the Deinonychus can rarely lay unfertilized Raptor Eggs.
