Dragons: Dragon Eggs

Hello, Dragon-Lovers.

The second part of this "series" is dragon eggs. You might be wondering how versatile eggs can be. I mean, yes, they can be different colors and sizes, but that's pretty much it. Right?

Nope. Dragon eggs can be very different from each other. Like dragons themselves, different authors have a variety of different portrayals of dragon eggs.

What are some types of dragons eggs?

Would they be smooth, and stone-like, like this one? This is Christopher Paolini's description of dragon eggs in The Inheritance Cycle.

Are they leathery, and get harder the closer they are to hatching? One of the main ways to tell how close a dragon egg is to hatching on Pern (Anne McCaffrey) is by their hardness.

Are they plain white, like this one?

Are they textured with designs snaking all over them?

Do they have scales like the dragons themselves?












These dragon eggs my aunt made for me. She lined up 250 (each) thumb tacks in styrofoam strips and painted them with nail polish. Then, she started at the bottom of a styrofoam egg, and spiraled the thumb tacks all the way to the top. She is 100% amazing. :)

What are other types of dragon eggs?
