About Start an Egg
Start an Egg is set in a vast open world inspired by the Classic of Mountains and Seas. You explore varied terrain, search for natural treasures and secret realms, and face attacks from high-level exotic beasts. The environment can be destroyed, and treasures may be hidden throughout the world.
Explore and compete
Random events and encounters occur along the way. You can establish factions, seize territory, enter martial arts competitions, bet on animal fights and play stone gambling. Consignment and theft add further ways to interact.
Evolve your beast
You raise your rank by devouring other exotic beasts, evolving up to Tier 12 and unlocking new forms and skills. Attribute points can be allocated freely, while natural treasures let you shape your beast. Collect the Seven Dragon Balls to summon the hidden Tier 13 Ancient Dragon Ancestor.
Command and interact
Exotic beasts can mate and reproduce, and you can subdue lower-level beasts as subordinates. You can command them to follow, attack or stand by, as well as demand spirit stones, invite them to spar and engage in other interactions that affect the battle landscape.
Skills and talents
Skills have no cooldown and can be used repeatedly while you have enough true qi. Each exotic beast can carry up to 8 skills. At level 12, a beast awakens a unique talent, such as the rosefinch's Nirvana Rebirth, which enhances its combat power.
