Deathclaw Egg (Fallout: New Vegas)

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

Characteristics
Deathclaw eggs are the unhatched offspring of deathclaws. They have a brownish-red shell which appears to have cracks and small fissures all around it. They are about the size of the players torso, and with a weight of 7 lbs. they are one of the heaviest items dropped by creatures, but are worth an impressive 400 caps, giving them a high weight-to-value ratio and making them a highly valuable loot item.

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.

Deathclaw eggs can also be used to complete a portion of the quest Bleed Me Dry. Rather than finding the quest-specific pile of deathclaw eggs item, the player may instead gather a dozen deathclaw eggs. Once the player has obtained the required 12 eggs they will be removed from the player's inventory and replaced with the pile of deathclaw eggs item.

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.
 * 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 the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel inside the deathclaw pens in the Adams Air Force Base hangars. These eggs use the same shape as their New Vegas counterparts, but have a different texture. However, these versions are not obtainable items but non-interactive decorations, and cannot be picked up.

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.
