Tek Quetzal Egg

An egg from the Tek Quetzal

The Tek Quetzal Egg comes from the Tek Quetzal in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. According to the ARK Wiki, it became a permanent part of the game with Extinction Chronicles V, and the wiki gives 284.104 as the version that added it. Tek Quetzals drop these eggs at random, and our records place the egg on Extinction and Astraeos.

Eating it or making kibble

Survivors can eat it or turn it into Exceptional Kibble. The wiki names creatures that kibble is used to tame, among them the Rex, Giganotosaurus, Spino, Quetzal, Managarmr, Mosasaurus and Yi Ling, and adds any creature that takes Superior, Regular, Simple or Basic Kibble. Taming an Oviraptor is one more use for the egg itself.

Hatching a Tek Quetzal

An egg laid after two Tek Quetzals mate can hatch into a baby. During incubation it needs between 5 and 6 °C (41 to 43 °F); outside that range it starts losing health. Hatching takes 16h 39m 55.199s, and an Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can shorten that by up to 20%. After laying, a female needs between 18h and 2d before she can produce another egg. Taking an egg near wild Tek Quetzals turns them hostile, and they will attack.

Weight and spoiling

Each egg weighs 12 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 1200. Our data gives it a spoil time of 192 hours (8 days).
