The Bloodstalker Egg is one of the Eggs in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Overview
Bloodstalker Eggs are dropped after two 
Bloodstalkers have mated.
After two Bloodstalkers mate, the resulting egg can be hatched into a baby Bloodstalker.
Incubation
Main article: IncubationThe Bloodstalker Egg takes 2h 56m 27.388s to hatch. It must be in the temperature range of 27 to 30 °C / 81 to 86 °F to successfully hatch, otherwise it will start to lose 
Health. The female Bloodstalker needs between 18h and 2d before having the capacity to lay eggs again. The incubation time can be reduced by up to 20% if the egg is placed in an 
Egg Incubator at the ideal temperature.
Hatching
Similar to the 
Mantis Egg 
, the Bloodstalker Egg cannot be picked up by any other means. To be able to hatch the egg, a nearby fire place must be present to incubate it on the spot. Alternatively, the female Bloodstalker can be positioned close to several 
Air Conditioner to allow the egg to be laid nearby.
Once hatched, the baby takes in raw meat rather than cooked meat. They also consume blood packs at a much slower rate than meat.
Note
- Bloodstalker Egg is the first to
- be obtained via breeding with two insect creatures, which is normally impossible for others. (This eventually lead to some insects becoming breedable in TLC3 with eggs bearing similar restriction.)
- have an animated appearance.
- have a different hatching sound effect.
- Despite the description, the egg itself can't be picked up, which makes it impossible to make any kibbles with it, even if it was cheated inside.
- The egg cannot be used in kibble recipes.
