dragon eggs

Legendary reptile offspring

Dragon eggs are the eggs of dragons in fantasy fiction and mythology, typically depicted as large, scaled or leathery, and requiring unusual conditions to hatch—extreme heat, magic, or centuries of dormancy.

The term appears across games, novels, and television: She placed the dragon eggs in the fire.
