Eggs
Steal An Egg eggs and hatching — nest eggs, the five-minute rare egg race, and how egg rarity shapes your best hatches.
Introduction
The Eggs hub covers every way to get eggs in Steal An Egg and what each egg can hatch into. Eggs are the starting point of the entire game loop — you steal them from pets, guarded nests and rival players, carry them back to base, and hatch them into pets. Eggs come in a range of rarities from the Common Starter Egg to the legendary and mythic eggs that can roll the game's best pets. The community also reports a rare-egg race roughly every five minutes where a high-value egg spawns and every player competes to steal it. Understanding which eggs are worth risking a contested steal for, and how egg rarity maps to pet rarity, is the difference between a slow start and a fast climb. This hub breaks down every egg type, where to find it, and what to hatch.
Egg Types & Sources

Egg Catalog
Starter Egg
The first egg every new player hatches on spawn, guaranteed to teach you the hatching loop. It rolls a common pet that earns minimal income, but it is the stepping stone to everything else in the game. It rolls a common pet, but the hatching habit it teaches stays useful for the whole game.
Nest Egg
The bread-and-butter egg stolen from guarded nests and wandering pets. Nest eggs roll common through rare pets and are the safest steady source of new pets while you build your early collection. They are the safest source of new pets while your stealing skills are still developing.
Golden Egg
A higher-rarity egg that appears from rare spawns and high-tier nests. Golden eggs can roll epic pets and occasionally better, making them a worthwhile target once your stealing is reliable enough to contest guarded spawns. Only take the risk once you can reliably escape a guarded spawn without losing the prize.
Mythic Egg
The rare-egg race prize and the source of the game's best pets. Mythic eggs can roll legendary and mythic pets, making them the single most valuable egg in the game and the focus of every contested steal. The entire server fights over it, so speed and timing decide who takes the egg home.
Rainbow Egg
A special event and deep-biome egg prized by collectors for its chance at rainbow variants. Rainbow eggs are rarer than golden eggs and worth targeting during events when they appear in higher numbers. If you can reach the deep biomes, make these a priority target during event windows.
Core Mechanics
Egg rarity in Steal An Egg maps closely to the rarity of the pet that hatches from it. Common and rare eggs come from everyday sources — your starter egg, wandering pets and small nests — while epic, legendary and mythic eggs come from guarded nests, rare spawns and the community-reported five-minute rare-egg race. Higher-rarity eggs are riskier to steal because they tend to spawn in contested or guarded locations, so the stealing system and the egg system are the same game. Because hatching is chance-based, hatching more eggs overall is the most reliable strategy, but targeting the rare-egg race when it spawns gives you the single best odds of a top-tier pet.
Advantages
A clear egg guide turns aimless stealing into a targeted strategy. Most new players waste time fighting over eggs that can only roll low-rarity pets, or skip the rare-egg race entirely because they do not know the timer. Knowing which eggs are worth the risk — and which are not — lets you spend your stealing effort where it pays off. The source breakdown also helps you plan: if you need a mythic pet, you know to prioritize the rare-egg race over grinding common nests. And understanding the egg-to-pet rarity mapping sets correct expectations, so you are not disappointed when a mid-tier egg rolls an average pet.
Challenges
Egg data carries real uncertainty because the game is young and fast-moving. The five-minute rare-egg race is community-reported rather than officially documented, so the exact timer and spawn mechanics may differ from what you see in-game. Specific egg names and their exact rarities are also community labels — the game may not use the same terms, and new egg types arrive with updates. Egg-to-pet rarity odds are estimates, not published numbers, so treat any hatch-rate claim as directional. Players should verify the current egg lineup on the updates page and treat this guide as a living document that changes as the game does.

Quick Tips
Always prioritize the rare-egg race over routine stealing. A single mythic egg from the race is worth more than hours of nest stealing, so position yourself near likely spawn points before the timer is up and move the instant the egg appears. Positioning yourself near likely spawn points before the timer is up is the highest-leverage prep you can do.
Do not risk a contested steal for low-rarity eggs. Common and rare eggs from open nests are not worth a PvP fight — save your risk for golden, legendary and mythic eggs that can actually roll a top-tier pet. It keeps your stealing effort pointed at rewards that actually matter for your collection.
Hatch eggs as soon as you carry them home. An unhatched egg in your inventory earns nothing, while the pet it rolls starts generating income immediately — hatching fast keeps your money loop moving. It keeps your money loop moving and prevents your inventory from becoming a bottleneck. It keeps your money loop moving and prevents your inventory from becoming a bottleneck.
