Dragon Eggs, or simply named Eggs, are a type of egg that hatch into baby dragons. They are main collectible items in some entries of the Spyro games and first appeared in Spyro the Dragon. In most appearances, an enemy or villain steals the Dragon Eggs, and Spyro has to retrieve them.

History

Dragon Eggs are delivered to the Dragon Realms by Fairies every twelve years and only hatch on the Year of the Dragon. This is accompanied by a large celebration called the Year of the Dragon Festival. It is unknown where the Dragon Eggs come from.

Abilities

Dragon Eggs are resistant to most forms of magic, as their hard shells alone can cause other magical attacks to bounce off them. They are also incredibly durable, capable of surviving explosions, being thrown down obstacle-infested mine shafts and tunnels, remain unscathed after being accidentally transformed into animals (such as a wooly mammoth), etc.

When hatched into baby dragons, the eggs release magical energy around them, which can be used to reactivate portals and grant special abilities to those who collect them, such as Sparx the Dragonfly who gained new powers upon gathering dragon eggs from the Sparx Realms. A certain number of eggs can affect the power of magic wielders; Bianca's magic was strengthened by 100 dragon eggs that allowed her to unlock the portal leading to the Sorceress's Lair. The magic of dragon eggs can also be harnessed by other individuals, like the Sorceress.

Spyro the Dragon

In the original PlayStation game, the dragons eggs are mostly magenta pinkish with spots on them.

There are twelve eggs in the entire game and they have all been stolen by Thieves. Two are found in Artisans, three are in the Peace Keepers, and the last seven are in Magic Crafters. Tuco the Balloonist of the third realm will not allow Spyro passage to the Beast Makers' realm until he has retrieved at least five dragon eggs.

Spyro: Year of the Dragon

Dragon Eggs make a reappearance in the third game, becoming the main focus. In the original game, the eggs have changed in appearance and are now white and gray with purple and pink speckles.

150 Dragon Eggs were brought to the Dragon Realms by the fairies for the Year of the Dragon, but while the dragons were sleeping, the Sorceress sent Bianca and the Rhynocs to steal all the eggs. Spyro was sent to retrieve the stolen dragon eggs around the Forgotten Worlds. They are either found lying about or rewarded after completing a task or mini-game. Egg Thieves are still around and hold a few of them captive. There are 150 eggs to be rescued; the last of which hatches into twins. Collecting enough dragon eggs will open portals to certain realms.

Spyro: A Hero's Tail

Spyro was asked by Mrs. Shoutfire to find the missing Dragon Eggs that had been stolen once again by Egg Thieves. This time, they were marked with certain patterns. Once you completed a full set, you were given a special prize which was dependent on which set you collected. There are 80 dragon eggs in total to collect.

Spyro: Shadow Legacy

Kaitlin asks Spyro to help find her missing egg. After he finds it, she tells him to find 30 more. After Spyro collects them all, Kaitlin teaches him a spell to turn into an egg afterwards. The eggs in this game are light blue with dark blue speckles. There are a total of 34 eggs. There is a glitch which makes you get unlimited eggs and one to be rolling in water.

Other game appearances

Crash Team Rumble

During Spyro's Early Access period in Crash Team Rumble, players were able to unlock Spyro and other event rewards early by collecting dragon eggs that were found on the arena maps in both competitve and party mode.

Locations

Spyro the Dragon

No.	Level	Detail
1	Stone Hill	When Spyro accesses the level, he must go into a cave on the right and continue until he reaches another grass area. Spyro must travel up an air current and glide to a grassy field above the cave entrance. From there, Spyro can find the thief with the first Dragon Egg.
2	Town Square	After Spyro rescues the dragon Alvar, he must turn and then jump onto an elevated ledge to the right. Spyro must then glide while staying close to the right wall. He eventually lands on a grass ledge around the corner. There Spyro can find the second thief, whom he must chase after.
3	Peace Keepers (home world)	Beside the portal to the Doctor Shemp level is a cannon, which Spyro must aim and fire a cannonball at a rock with a red target on it. The resulting cannonball reveals a platform, which Spyro must jump from and glide over to the desert area in the distance (over the gap). The third thief is found in an alcove.
4	Cliff Town	Located near the dragon Halvor.
5	Dry Canyon	From the start, Spyro must take a narrow path on the left. There is a thief hiding in an alcove.
6	Magic Crafters (home world)	Spyro must go into a blue tunnel ahead from where the Balloonist is. By proceeding down, Spyro can find a thief within a junction. The thief has a short loop, and Spyro must quickly charge and burn the thief before it jumps onto an unreachable ledge. If this happens, Spyro must leave the area, then turn around and re-enter the junction, where the thief awaits him in the same spot.
7		After going through the tunnel with the first thief, Spyro returns outside. He can find the second thief in a grassy, circular area.
8	High Caves	When Spyro goes to supercharge across the gap, he must take a sharp right turn in midair and aim for the distant, grassy field. The thief is on top of the ramp in the area.
9		After the cave with the supercharge ramp is a bridge that leads to another chamber. Spyro must go to the bridge's mid-section, then face right at two ledges which lead into respective chambers. Spyro must first glide to the nearest ledge and then to the second ledge, which has the thief.
10	Alpine Ridge	At the Return Home portal, Spyro must face the large, open area that he is in. He must glide east of the Explosive Chests and into a cave entrance, which has the thief.
11	Wizard Peak	When Spyro reaches the second supercharge ramp, he must charge down and then up the ramp directly ahead. After building up momentum, Spyro must quickly jump and glide to the island ahead. A thief is behind the wall.
12		The thief is around the pool in the same area as the dragon Lucas and the Return Home portal. Spyro can jump across the pool and attack the thief to obtain its Dragon Egg.

Trivia

• Many of the baby dragons that hatch from the eggs in Spyro: Year of the Dragon are named after jazz musicians, such as Dizzy (Dizzy Gillespie), Coltrane (John Coltrane), Mingus (Charles Mingus), Thelonious (Thelonious Monk), Maynard (Maynard Ferguson), and Miles (Miles Davis), along with other historical and pop culture references, such as Sigfried and Roy (Siegfried and Roy).
  • A dragon called Jonah is found inside the whale in Evening Lake, based off of the biblical character Jonah.
  • A dragon called Shemp is found after completing the race in Country Speedway, most likely as a reference to Doctor Shemp from Spyro the Dragon.
• One dragon egg in Desert Ruins (Sadie) was accidentally turned into a wooly mammoth by Bianca for five minutes.
• In Spyro Reignited Trilogy's Year of the Dragon, the count of dragon eggs appear to be inconsistent with how many are present in the game itself, as the final cutscene "The End" shows an egg that is only just hatching, meaning Spyro must have saved an unhatching egg off-screen or this particular egg never got stolen.
