Thorny Dragon Egg

Laid by the Thorny Dragon

Thorny Dragons drop this egg at random, and players of ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended can either eat it or turn it into Regular Kibble. Its in-game text: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides regular nutritional value in many cooking recipes."

Regular Kibble and its tames

The ARK Wiki lists a long set of creatures that want Regular Kibble specifically. A few of them: the Pteranodon, Stegosaurus, Carnotaurus, Sabertooth, Baryonyx, Doedicurus and the Thorny Dragon itself. Creatures that take Simple or Basic Kibble will accept it too.

From egg to baby Thorny Dragon

A mated pair of Thorny Dragons produces an egg that hatches into a baby Thorny Dragon. It needs 2h 29m 59.28s of incubation and a temperature between 22 and 28 °C (72 to 82 °F); outside that range the egg starts to lose health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature cuts the time by up to 20%. After laying, a female waits between 18h and 2d before she can lay another egg.

Grabbing an egg while wild Thorny Dragons are close makes them hostile, and they go after the survivor.

Weight, spoiling and maps

An egg weighs 9 and they stack to 100, putting a full stack at 900. It spoils after 192 hours (8 days). The wiki says the egg was introduced in Scorched Earth and also lists Lost Island, Crystal Isles, Ragnarok, Extinction and both Genesis: Part 1 and Genesis: Part 2; our records also list Astraeos. The version that added it is 246.0.
