Characteristics
The bad egg is actually an unknown monstrous monster egg, rolling into battle and ready to hatch into all sorts of weird and wonderful strange species. It's impossible to tell which kind of monster it will actually be until it hatches, if it gets a chance to before the battle ends. An evil eye and a small, sneaky red-lipped smile can be seen through the pitch blackness inside the egg.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2
The player may receive a bad egg as their starting monster. It is, along with the capsichum, one of the only starting monsters that can't be scouted later and must instead be synthesized (e.g. mixing a ghost with a komodo). Bad eggs can still be seen outside of battle, dwelling in the hades condor nests in Cragravation, but cannot be fought. The bad egg is a Rank F monster.
