Metroid Egg



A Metroid Egg is what an infant Metroid hatches from. The only normal egg encountered in the entire series is at the end of Metroid II: Return of Samus, where the Metroid hatchling is born in front of Samus. Artwork depicts a blue-green egg covered in some sort of substance as well as several green vines, though the appearance differs greatly from the ingame sprites due to the Game Boy's monochrome color scheme. Metroids hatch by shaking the egg, before it explodes, while the Super Metroid intro depicts the scene the same way, but the egg crumbles before exploding.

Several Phazon-infused eggs could also be seen in the Metroid Processing room in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
