Tropeognathus Egg

Where Tropeognathus Eggs come from

The Tropeognathus drops this egg at random, and it exists in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki says it first appeared on the Crystal Isles map in version 311.74 and lists Fjordur as well; our records also list The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Lost Colony, The Center, Astraeos, Ragnarok and Valguero. Taking an egg near wild Tropeognathus makes them turn on the survivor.

Eating it or turning it into kibble

The egg can be eaten as it is. Its in-game text reads: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides superior nutritional value in many cooking recipes." The wiki notes it can go into Superior Kibble, used to tame creatures such as the Argentavis, Megalodon, Mammoth, Direwolf, Tapejara and Daeodon, and any creature that eats Basic, Simple or Regular Kibble.

Hatching and incubation

When two Tropeognathus mate, the egg they produce can hatch into a baby. Hatching takes 1h 39m 59.52s, and the egg needs between 29 and 32 °C (84 to 90 °F); outside that range it loses Health. An Egg Incubator set to the best temperature can shorten incubation by up to 20%. A female's next egg can come 18h to 2d later.

Weight and spoiling

Each egg weighs 7, and up to 100 share a stack, for 700 at a full stack. It spoils after 8 days, or 192 hours.
