The Mantis Egg is one of the eggs in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is available in the Scorched Earth, Extinction, and Ragnarok DLCs.

Overview

Mantis Eggs are dropped after two Mantis have mated. They can be eaten.

After two Mantis mate, the resulting egg can be hatched into a baby Mantis.

Notes

• Prior to 316.18, Mantis can't be bred. It is currently unknown if Mantis will still lay their original eggs.
• As of 316.18, Mantis can now be bred, along with some other insects. The eggs are similar to bloodstalker eggs in that they cannot be picked up after being fertilized/dropped. As such, it is recommended to either have them mate in the location the eggs will be incubated/hatched at, or have a source of portable incubation such as dimetrodon, standing torch, etc.
• Prior to TLC 3, this egg appeared as hard-shelled egg like any other dino eggs and can be picked up. Dinos associated with said eggs also lays them.
  • Any eggs picked up prior to the above will have changed appearance as it is no longer obtainable as an item.
