View source for Eggs

'''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 currently still in development.

'''Eggs''' usually are considered to be belonging to an unidentified fauna until they are analyzed using the [[Specimen Analyzer]]. 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 ten 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, respectively.

'''Eggs''' can be found in their species' respective [[Biomes|biomes.]]

==Cycle==
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 it's 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.
