What kind of egg is this?

The big black one in the front:

Eggcellent find!
Hmm looks to me like... Hmmm well now..... Begins with d, ends with n, rhymes with flagon. Don't trust me though, I'm hardly an eggspert on the matter.

Looks like an argonian egg from the quest at the Hatching Pools.

The big black one ? In the front ? Looks like a rock egg to me.

Armatesz · November 2017

Top one is an argonian egg with all those black holes, the one right below it... orangish veiny is a harpy egg. I can't put my finger on what the other egg is.

I agree with your keen observation 100%.

Those who think otherwise, perhaps a trip to "Specksavers" is in order.

It would be a funky lookin' chick that lays an egg like that!

There again, I suppose anything is possible in Nirn. It could simply be one of Molag Bal's.

It can't be a dragon egg, because they don't breed. Can't be Chaurus, because we've seen those in Skyrim - they're much smaller and have lots of blue pods on them, like so:

Can't be Argonian, Harpy, Lamia, Dreugh, or Wamasu, because those use different models. I can't recall what the Scorpion Matron's eggs from the Upper Craglorn quest look like. Could it be a Silt Strider egg? It's big enough.

I want the Chaurus Eggs!!!

Doesn't really look like an egg to me; looks like the carapace of something big, like an assassin beetle (I know, wrong color, but that's what it makes me think of).

I found a quest in craglorn that had me to destroy eggs, seen what the scorpion eggs look like and those are def not scorpion eggs. It kinda looks like a wamasu egg but different.

Good to know even if it doesn't really explain what it is. And I believe one of the eggs not shown in the frame (the pic is from Revus' egg collection in Gnisis for the curious) is a Wamasu egg; they had concept art of that one that matches.

Its a lama or a porcupine egg I'm sure of it

Vuldovahkriid · November 2017

Wamasu egg?

Runs · November 2017

Is this in someones home?

Could it be the Mnemic Egg replica from the achievement vendor?

@Runs You're an achievement vendor.

WhiteCoatSyndrome · November 2017

@Runs It's in Revus Demnevanni's egg collection near Gnisis in Vvardenfell. You visit it as part of the questline there. It's definitely not the Mnemic Egg as that's oblong and brownish, with orange rivulets.

Tyrobag · November 2017

It could be a Shalk egg. Given their environment and relation to lava, it would not be unreasonable that they would cover their eggs in lava to give it a protective rock shell. Pure speculation of course.

Asardes · November 2017

Argonian Behemoth egg, or I hope so since it's so rough. Can help but hope for that anyway, because I want the laying to be as painful as possible after so many Vault of Umbrage deaths

The Mnemic Egg is my spirit animal. We both have the potential to be used for good or evil.

But remember, I'm the sweet one

Edit: The egg reminds me of Balut. Mmmmm hungry now

fallentemplar · November 2017

im pretty sure its a uhhmm you know that thing that starts with a r and ends with a k i think the word ill go with is rock or hunk of earth/ what every world eso is

It's definitely a weird one. As for wamasu eggs, one can see them in the Redfur Trading Post (Grahtwood). A very pleasant Argonian merchant Walks-In-Dry-Places looks after them.

The upper egg surrounded by some kind of rocks. This suggests that maybe the weird solid rock egg is an initial form of the wamasu egg. Or it's not, and those are just a pile of stones, a cradle of some sort.

technohic · December 2017

Sorry. I had a lot of cheese and didn't think anyone would notice there. I mean, there are no bathrooms so what is a guy supposed to do?

The design and texture seems very daedric or oblivion themed. Perhaps it is even a piece of buried armor or architecture instead of an egg. No idea beyond that. Another angle or a video would help, or at least a map showing where it's located in-game.

WhiteCoatSyndrome · February 2018

@Marginis As I posted earlier it's in Revus Demnevanni's egg collection, near Gnisis in Vvardenfell. It's explicitly an egg collection, and there are a number of other eggs around it (some you can see in the picture with it). It shows up in (but doesn't become important in) the quest with the Kwama Queen egg.

Must have skipped over that reply. Thank you.

I haven't seen it mentioned, but could it be a Sload? Do Sloads even lay eggs?

Unknown; maybe we'll find out in future content.
