PsittacosaurusEGGS & TAMING
Taming begins with eggs recovered from the wild. They come from several sources:
- Egg drops from defeated wild dinosaurs of that species? .
- Eggs laid by breeding? a mated pair in the Breeding Enclosure? .
- Rewards from Expeditions? , Watchtower Operations? , dungeons? and redeem codes? .
- Starter eggs you choose during the tutorial.
Every egg then passes through three timed stages: Incubate → Hatch → Mature.

ParasaurolophusThe three starter eggs.
THE THREE STAGES
| Stage | Building needed | Base time |
|---|---|---|
| Incubate | Hatchery? | 5 minutes (starter eggs 1 minute) |
| Hatch | Hatchery | Instant — egg becomes a baby |
| Mature | Nursery? | 30 min × species maturation multiplier (starter eggs 1 minute) |
Each stage shortens with the building level, the Hatchery/Nursery timer-reduction skills? , and research projects? . The building level is snapshotted when a timer starts, so upgrading mid-incubation does not retroactively speed that egg up.
RAISING THE BABY
A hatched baby can be interacted with before it matures. Each interaction permanently improves the adult's stats:
| Activity | Requirement | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Feed | Baby in the Nursery | +10% to final stats (up to 2 feeds) |
| Play | Nursery level 5+; locks you 5 minutes | +10% to final stats (more with the Den Mother skill) |
| Nursery level | Snapshotted at hatch | +0.5% to final stats per level |
| Hatchling Vigor | Handler skill | Chance to grant a free +1 to every stat |
final stat = floor( egg base stat x (1 + totalBonus / 100) )
totalBonus = nurseryBonus + 10 x (feeds + plays)
You cannot travel? while locked into a Play session.
TRAINING A MATURE DINOSAUR
Once mature, a dinosaur is trained with XP, one stat point at a time. The cost climbs the deeper you invest in a single stat:
| Points already in the stat | XP cost per point |
|---|---|
| 0 – 9 | 50 × (points + 1) |
| 10 – 24 | 100 × (points + 1) |
| 25+ | 200 × (points + 1) |
Trainable stats: ATK, DEF, SPD and VIG. Skills and research can reduce these costs.
WILD STAT SCALING
Wild encounters spawn at a random level inside their location's range and scale per level:
- VIG — +5% per level
- ATK — +3.5% per level
- DEF — +3% per level
- SPD — +2% per level
Wild stats carry a natural spread around the species base, so two specimens of the same species can differ.
