An example of this is finding a Stalker egg in the Jellyshroom Cave.Įggs can be used as fuel for the Bioreactor, though they provide far less energy than a hatched creature. They are destroyed by a Prawn Suit with a punch, or using a Propulsion or Repulsion Cannon on it, meaning they cannot be picked up with a Prawn Suit or moved around with tools, only by hand.Įggs can be found in their species' biomes, but gravity can cause an egg to roll or fall into another biome or cave.

Crashfish explosions can destroy their own eggs and habitat if they are too close. Hits with a knife will slice open the egg, resulting in no creature being spawned.

The exceptions are the Ampeel, as its electric shocks still apply damage, and the Crabsquid.Įggs can be destroyed. Most normally aggressive creatures will not attack the player if hatched in the Alien Containment, allowing the player to scan it even after it is released in the wild.

The hatched creature will slowly grow until it is moderately-sized or can fit within the confines of the Alien Containment. After one to three in-game days, the egg will hatch into a smaller version of its respective species. After placing an egg inside an Alien Containment, it will stay where it was placed. After learning this information this way in-game, or from the table below, similar eggs can be identified by the biome it comes from, its appearance, and size.Īlmost all eggs can be placed inside an Alien Containment. The PDA gives the player this information instantly no matter where they are, without needing to be present to observe which creature came from which egg. Until they hatch, an egg is labeled as an unknown creature egg, changing to match the name of the creature the egg contained if it hatches inside an Alien Containment. They are the unhatched versions of their respective Fauna. Eggs are items found in Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero.
