Metroid Eggs are green and oval in shape, with their bottoms covered in a tough, dry substance resembling roots which affixes the eggs to the ground in an upright position. This substance was likely to have initially been a liquid that coated the eggs as they made their way out of the Queen Metroid's body, at which point the liquid gathered to their bottoms and hardened. The roots are absent on some eggs, notably on those that are recently moved around. |

− | An egg's color varies between appearances in games and media, along with the size but to a lesser extent. Several of these in-game differences can be attributed to the egg adapting to the environment it is located in, a trait commonly found in the [[Metroid (species)|Metroid species]]. The shell of an egg is durable enough to require the infant within to burst out from the top with force, shattering a large portion of it in the process. A |

Several of these in-game differences can be attributed to the egg adapting to the environment it is located in, a trait commonly found in the [[Metroid (species)|Metroid species]]. The shell of an egg is durable enough to require the infant within to burst out from the top with force, shattering a large portion of it in the process. A fluid subsequently pours out of the hatched egg and seemingly dries up in a matter of seconds. |
There are instances in the series that reveal the Egg stage of a Metroid can be skipped entirely if one wishes to artificially increase a Metroid population. Infant and [[Metroid larva]]e will split and multiply in a process similar to cells undergoing mitosis when they are exposed to [[Beta-Ray]]s or Phazon. Cloning has also proved to be a reliable method to remove the need for eggs, though earlier attempts were not devoid of [[Mochtroid|failures]]. |
