Finding an egg starts a run. Returning it and receiving a pet are the parts that finish it. Keep those steps separate and the game's menus become much easier to read.
Which egg screen are you looking at?
| Screen or label | The question it answers |
|---|---|
| Track / eggs in the world | What is currently listed in the world? |
| Radar marker | Where is the target of this search? |
| Egg Basket | What are you carrying right now? |
| Hatch or result screen | What stage has this particular egg reached? |
| Index → Eggs | What have you collected? |
A target on a list does not mean the egg is already yours. Confirm each transition before moving to the next part of the run.
Choose a search you can finish
Start close enough to recognize the way home. At the Gears shop, compare the available radar's name, price and stock with the cash you are willing to spend on this attempt.
Follow its marker and inspect the terrain around the destination. When you pick up an egg, read the carry warning and return to your own plot. Save a detour for another run if it puts that egg at risk.
Use the beginner guide for the full sequence and egg locations for landmark-based exploration.
Ordinary eggs and shop promotions
The official promotional artwork includes Flame Egg and Dragon Egg. Those images identify a promotion; they do not establish the complete current hatch pool, a guaranteed pet or a permanent price.
When a shop offers an egg, read the current offer before confirming: the currency, number of eggs, displayed possible rewards and whether the action hatches immediately. A Dragon Egg name is not enough to infer a guaranteed Dragon.
Egg names you can recognize
| Egg | Evidence and useful next step |
|---|---|
| Aurora Egg | A growing egg label in the recorded ranch view below. Finish its displayed growth before expecting a pet result. |
| Galaxy Egg | A separate growing egg label in the same view. Its name does not identify the guaranteed hatch result. |
| Flame Egg | Named in official promotional artwork. Check the current shop offer for availability and its reward pool. |
| Dragon Egg | Named in official promotional artwork and shop walkthroughs. See Dragon Egg methods before choosing a search or purchase. |
The growing-egg view does not show hatch outcomes or probabilities. Promotional names also do not establish a complete live egg list.
Keep the hatch result readable
After the egg reaches its destination, complete the available placement or hatch interaction. Read the resulting pet's name and confirm it appears in your own pet collection before planning an upgrade around it.
If the process stops, identify the exact point: no pickup, failed return, no placement, or no received pet. Those are different problems. The troubleshooting guide starts with the visible result so you can check the right step.
Follow your collection
The Index has an Eggs tab alongside Pets and Mutations. Use it as a collection record. Do not substitute an Index silhouette for a live location, or a video's rare hatch for a measured probability.
