Biography
Characteristics
Egg Things are fast, running away to avoid fights. When defeated, they drop a Riceball. Higher level monsters may drop additional items, although they're much harder to catch and may disappear entirely if Shiren gets too close.
Physical Appearance
Egg Thing is a creature with two legs and a tail coming out of an eggshell.
Name Etymology
Their Japanese name means pidan, or century egg, a Chinese dish, and egg preservation method, in reference to its egg shape and its ability to provide food.
