The Oviraptor is the creature that feeds itself by eating eggs, then makes every other creature lay more of them. It is a small, fragile tame that pays for itself in eggs.
The conclusion up front: tame it by dropping eggs, and it becomes a kibble-farm multiplier. Heavier eggs are the better feed.

How to tame it
- Feed it eggs. It is a passive egg-eater like the Titanoboa; standard and fertilized eggs both work.
- Go for heavier eggs. Preferred order favors heavier eggs, so use the biggest you have.
- Protect it. 140 health and 125 torpor mean almost anything can kill it — clear the area first.
What it gives you
- An egg-lay aura. Nearby creatures lay eggs faster, which accelerates kibble production.
- An egg collector. It picks up eggs around it, tidying your farm.
- A low-cost support tame. Cheap to tame and it multiplies your other tames’ output.
The mistakes that waste it
- Taming it in the open. It dies to the first predator.
- Using small eggs. Heavier eggs give better progress.
- Expecting a fighter. It is a farm support, not combat.
