Deathclaw Egg (Fallout: New Vegas)

The deathclaw egg is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Deathclaw eggs are, obviously, the eggs of deathclaws. They are very heavy, but also very valuable, which may make them worth the weight.

Uses
One deathclaw egg is required during the unmarked quest, You Gotta Break Out a Few Eggs, and an egg is required to make a Wasteland omelet. They are the primary ingredient of Wasteland omelettes. They are worth 400 caps, which makes a lot of players pick them up and sell them.

Location

 * Three deathclaw eggs can be found near the back of Quarry Junction in a cave that is guarded by the alpha male deathclaw and the deathclaw mother (A deathclaw egg is required in order to complete the unmarked quest You Gotta Break Out a Few Eggs.)


 * Three can be found at the very end of Deathclaw Promontory.


 * All types of deathclaws also have a random chance to have them when killed.


 * A few can be found in Dead Wind Cavern, guarded by a deathclaw mother.

Appearance
Deathclaw eggs appear in Fallout: New Vegas. Deathclaw eggs can also be seen in Fallout 3 inside the deathclaw pens in the Adams Air Force Base hangars, however these cannot be picked up or interacted with.

Behind the scenes
The existence of hard-shelled eggs confirms deathclaws to be oviparous, which is interesting in light of their origin as mutated Jackson's chameleons, which are ovoviparous, meaning they incubate their eggs within their body. They are not, however, viviparous, meaning they bear their young live, as humans are.
