Egg

Egg's are one of the ways the virus spreads.

There are two forms;
 * 1) The clear version laid by Spiders and Spore Generators. Clear eggs are easy to deal with and can be destroyed by a basic Darwinian with a laser
 * 2) The Triffids eggs.

However, only the Triffied eggs are referred to as "Eggs" and actually present a challenge.

The also appear in Multiwinia. There are two methods they will appear from as a reward, both involving Crates.
 * 1) The first is a random group of Virus will generate, producing perhaps a Triffid or two. These Triffids will begin to spit out Eggs that are grey in colour.  Because of their Grey colour, they are "neutral" and will hatch creatures that will attack anything.
 * 2) The second method is the player will be awarded the ability to spawn them in. Once spawned they will be the colour of the player who set them, and the creatures from them also the same colour.  These versions should not attack the player who spawned them.

Strengths and Weaknesses

 * The Triffid eggs are harmless until they hatch and can be destroyed by explosives and lasers, though resist a lot of damage making grenades the best method of deal with them. They are easy to deal with.
 * When they hatch they produce either a group of clear eggs, spiders or Virii.
 * The eggs are not damaged by the sea and will occasionally hatch in the ocean, this results n hidden dangers for Engineers trying to cross near or over them. Anything spawned in the ocean, especially Virii are invisible.
 * The Eggs have no behave themselves and once they settle after being launched just lay there on the ground making them very easy targets.

Trivia

 * Eggs are based on Surprise Eggs such as the Kinder Egg or Mystery Capsules. Before the egg or capsule is opened, there is little way of telling what is inside.
