dragon egg

Fantasy creature's beginning

A dragon egg is the egg from which a dragon hatches, appearing across mythology, fantasy literature, and games as a coveted object—often magical, ancient, or requiring special conditions to hatch.

Dragon eggs typically feature in quests or plot devices: She found a dragon egg in the ruins.

In gaming contexts, dragon eggs may be collectible items or achievements.
