Dragon eggs can be identified by their size alone. Some reach the height of a man's shoulder. Dragons are in the eggs for at least several months, with some incubating for 10 years. Each breed has a different type of eggshell. Although according to Sir Edward Howe, Chinese breeds are notoriously hard to categorize. Most of them have an appearance similar to porcelain.

In the wild eggs are buried under volcanos and hotsprings to kep them warm, but domesticated eggs are usually kept in warm places like the Ottoman furnace in BGW and under the heated courtyard at Loch Laggan covert in HMD.

  • Anglewing eggs are golden-brown with flecks of bright yellow.
  • Kazilik eggs are dusty reddish, speckled with green.
  • Alaman eggs are very small and pale lemon-yellow.
  • Akhal-Teke eggs are cream-colored and spotted with red and orange.
