Trike Egg

An egg from the Trike

A Trike drops these eggs at random in ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK: Survival Evolved, and our records name the Triceratops as the source. The description: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides simple nutritional value in many cooking recipes." The egg is listed on 8 maps, among them The Island, Aberration, Extinction and Valguero.

Food and Simple Kibble

Survivors can eat the egg or turn it into Simple Kibble. The ARK Wiki lists that kibble as a taming food for creatures such as the Raptor, Pachy, Gallimimus, Iguanodon and Triceratops, plus anything that eats Basic Kibble. Picking an egg up while wild Trikes are nearby turns them hostile, and they go after the survivor.

Weight and spoilage

Each egg weighs 9, and a full stack of 100 weighs 900. The ARK Wiki gives its spoil time as 28800 seconds.

Breeding and hatching

An egg from two mating Trikes can hatch into a baby Trike; the wiki lists the Fertilized Trike Egg, Fertilized Aberrant Trike Egg and Fertilized X-Trike Egg as variants. Hatching takes 2h 29m 59.28s and only succeeds between 22 and 28 °C (72 to 82 °F); outside that range the egg begins to lose health. At the ideal temperature, an Egg Incubator cuts the time by up to 20%. Between eggs, a female Trike needs a pause of 18h to 2d.
