'''Eggs''' are the unhatched forms of certain types of [[fauna]]. They can be used for [[research]] which will allow the player to create more advanced objects, such as [[Upgrades]].
'''Eggs''' are the unhatched forms of certain types of [[Fauna]]. Until they hatch the game will not identify them. However, an egg can be identified by where it was found, its appearance, and its size (See table below).

'''Eggs''' usually are considered to be belonging to an unidentified fauna until they hatch. An Egg of a given type can currently belong to up to two different [[Fauna|species]].


After an egg is analyzed, you can put it inside a [[Large Aquarium]]. The egg will take about 2-3 in-game days to hatch, with the exception of the [[Reefback]]. When hatched, the creature within the egg will be a smaller version of its respective species.

Eggs currently take up four slots in the inventory, with the exception of the [[Reefback]], [[Shuttlebug]], [[Mesmer]], [[Rabbit Ray]] and [[Spadefish]] eggs. The Reefback taking up nine and the latter four taking up one slot.

It is worth noting that many Eggs are affected by the in-game physics engine, and as such will roll into strange places. An example of this is finding a [[Stalker]] or [[Sand Shark]] egg in the [[Jelly Shroom Caves]].
[[Shuttlebug]] eggs can potentially be found in any cave system, however this is yet to be confirmed.

Eggs are the unhatched forms of certain types of Fauna. Until they hatch the game will not identify them. However, an egg can be identified by where it was found, its appearance, and its size (See table below).

After an egg is analyzed, you can put it inside a Large Aquarium. The egg will take about 2-3 in-game days to hatch, with the exception of the Reefback. When hatched, the creature within the egg will be a smaller version of its respective species.

Eggs can be found in their species' respective Biomes.

More information and animations can be found on Trello.

After placing an egg inside an Aquarium, it will stay where it was placed. After about one in-game day, the egg will begin to move and pulse. After three to five in-game days, the egg will hatch into a smaller version of its species. This egg will slowly grow until it is mildly full sized or can fit in the Large Aquarium. Baby creatures can be picked up and placed outside in the water, where they will instantly become fully grown. An aggressive creature will not attack the player if it is hatched in the aquarium, allowing the player to scan it. However, if it is released outside it will revert to its aggressive behavior.
