Tek Parasaur Egg

An egg from Tek Parasaurs

Tek Parasaurs drop this egg at random, and our records have it in both ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK: Survival Evolved. The ARK Wiki says it became a permanent item with the release of Extinction Chronicles IV, and its infobox gives 283.101 as the version that added it. Its in-game text: "Eat it to gain tremendous nourishment, or use it in recipes, or..." A survivor can eat it, turn it into kibble, or, when it comes from a mated pair, hatch it.

Be careful when you collect one: picking up an egg while wild Tek Parasaurs are around turns them hostile, and they will attack you.

Kibble from the egg

The egg is an ingredient of Basic Kibble. The ARK Wiki names the creatures this kibble is used to tame: Phiomia, Dodo, Parasaur, Mesopithecus, Dilophosaur, Kairuku, Maewing, Gloon and Maeguana.

Hatching a baby Tek Parasaur

When two Tek Parasaurs mate, the egg they produce can hatch into a baby Tek Parasaur. Hatching takes 1h 25m 42.446s. The egg needs between 24 and 28 °C (75 to 82 °F); outside that range it starts to lose health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can shorten the wait by up to 20%. A female Tek Parasaur takes 18h to 2d before she is able to lay again.

Weight, stacking and spoiling

One egg weighs 5 and a stack holds 100, which makes a full stack weigh 500. The ARK Wiki gives a spoil time of 28800 seconds and a decompose time of 1800 seconds. Our records place the egg on Extinction and Astraeos.
