Deathclaw egg

Deathclaw eggs are hard-shelled eggs laid by deathclaws.

Background


The existence of hard-shelled eggs confirms deathclaws to be oviparous, meaning they lay eggs containing developing embryos. They weigh approximately three kilograms (seven pounds) and are the size of a rugby ball. Because of the difficulty of obtaining these eggs, they are very pricey, but fortunately, the eggs take a long time to go bad. A woman in Modoc is credited with first using deathclaw eggs to create an luxurious omelette around 2240.
