In the natural world, living creatures have a myriad of ways of bringing more young into the world. Some produce thousands of eggs and young that grow quickly but only a few make it to adulthood. Others invest huge amounts of time and resources to develop and take care of only a few at a time.note These are called r and K-type breeding styles, respectively. There is considerable debate on where humans fall on the scale, as compared to animals like salmon, aphids, or rats, humans breed quite slowly and invest a lot of energy into each offspring, but compared to animals like whales, elephants, or other apes, which barely breed above replacement rate, we breed like rabbits. In fiction, it's often simplified into laying eggs, even if the biology of the creature in question should indicate otherwise. This is very useful in bypassing the complications of an Interspecies Romance and the Squick of a live birth, which is also why it's a common implementation of G-Rated Sex. Popular Mons trope, as pretty much every Mons series uses it. Especially the ones that originate in video games, where it also serves to simplify the breeding mechanics — see Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action. May also overlap with Cosmic Egg, if the egg in question produces or is laid by a deity. Compare Egg-Laying Male if the species has the ability to lay eggs, but is male. Contrast with Pregnant Reptile, in which a non-mammal reproduces the mammal way. Whales don't lay eggs; they're mammals that give live birth. |

In MapleStory, one quest has you collect eggs from Chronos, Tick-Tocks, and Timers, and a related quest has you raise a baby Timer from an egg. While the last one resembles a bird, it and Tick-Tocks are Clockwork Creatures, and Chronos are undead beings; how any of them can even reproduce, much less from eggs, is a mystery. (Making it even weirder, the quest where you raise the baby Timer requires you to feed it Springy Toy Worms, and it's unlikely most living beings could eat such things.) | |

Doraemon: Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan features Doraemon's Life Creation Set, a gadget that can create artificial life that's later hatched from eggs — one of those constructs being a Pegasus named Pega. Doraemon: Nobita and the Spiral City have an Egg Factory in the titular city which creates eggs where their inhabitants - Living Toys — are hatched from. Even toys of mammals, including two particularly intelligent stuffed pigs named Pibu and Popi, are created from these eggs. Justified since they're, well, toys. |

The Simpsons: In "Simpson Safari", a baby Rhinoceros is seen breaking out of its egg. Lisa points out that rhinos don't do that. Homer points out that they obviously do, since they just saw it happen. The scene the trope name comes from isn't an example as it's not an egg but an isolation chamber that Ralph just thinks is an egg. |

Discussed and played for laughs in The Last Dogs. In the final book, Tiffany the raccoon boasts about how she'd snuck up on bobcats laying eggs, and about how she knows about bears laying eggs and the baby bears swim immediately after "hatching".

In Spec World, a parallel universe where dinosaurs survived and the Cretaceous extinction never happened, many of the lineages of egg-laying mammals survived as well. There are creatures resembling rats or mice but lay eggs, as well as many platypus relatives filling niches of badgers, weasels and raccoons. A strange aversion is the whale-like platypus called the Moby Duck, which independently evolved live birth from the placental mammals. | |

South Scrimshaw: Played with. The Brillo Whale calf that the documentary focuses on is shown being born from what initially appears to be an egg, but is in fact a kind of external placenta attached to his mother. Presumably this is an adaptation to prevent the birth from being impeded by whatever external organisms are growing on the mother while still allowing her to keep her unborn baby with her. | |

In Hamster's Paradise, the original sketches depict a species of bird-like hamster that had re-evolved the ability to lay pseudo-eggs. Starting off by producing undeveloped young like a marsupial, it eventually evolves the ability to contain the newborns within an amniotic sac where they can develop further outside the mother's body, and emerge as a fully-developed fledgeling. | |

Rocko's Modern Life gives an Interspecies Romance example, when Dr. Hutchinson, a cat married to a turtle, lays an egg. Apparently justified as turtles lay eggs and not only is she married to a turtle but her father is a turtle. Even weirder though, four kids come out of it, and since Heffer was the primary "egg-sitter," one of them is a cow already wearing glasses. | |

Digimon Adventure: The Digimon are asexual so the eggs actually spawn from the remains of dead Digimon. Since the Digimon that "spawn" from this act are actually the same individual Digimon that died, it works as a Disney Death and Resurrective Immortality. Though several cases could result in real death for good, such as fights taking place in the real world, or if someone manages to invent a device to get rid of that feature. Digimon can also be deleted, though the specifics are vague and might lead to Came Back Wrong instead. The first season is the only one to address this specifically, with others either leaving it ambiguous or not addressing it at all. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Gith are a humanoid race with no ouward reptilian or avian traits and who, in some editions, explictly descended from human ancestors within historic times. They reproduce by laying eggs. A sylph is an Always Female fey who looks like a beautiful elf woman with dragonfly wings. To bear a daughter, she has to seek a mortal suitor, usually elf, human, or Halfling. Despite this, the child, described as a "baby girl with wing buds", hatches from an egg that the sylph keeps in a special nest, guarded by an air elemental. The game also gives this trait to pretty much any beast that has bird-like wings, no matter how much it resembles a mammal otherwise. Griffons, hippogriffs, and pegasi all hatch from eggs, although 5th edition describes pegasi as giving live birth instead. It's mentioned in the description for avorials, or winged elves, that there's an in-universe belief that this is true for them, but it is not. |

Prehistoric Planet features the Adalatherium, a badger-like Mesozoic mammal. It's first introduced inspecting a clutch of eggs in a burrow, with the narration implying and suggesting that it is raiding a dinosaur nest as early mammals are stereotyped to do, but as it turns out... they are her own eggs. Adelatherium, like most non-eutherian Mesozoic mammals, were egg-layers. Egg-laying used to be far more common in Mesozoic mammals. | |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Spiral City have an Egg Factory in the titular city which creates eggs where their inhabitants - Living Toys — are hatched from. Even toys of mammals, including two particularly intelligent stuffed pigs named Pibu and Popi, are created from these eggs. Justified since they're, well, toys. | |

Slightly Damned The Jackai are race of hobbit-sized humanoids that somewhat resemble a cross between a cat, ferret, and rodent, but they lay eggs in communal hatcheries.fun fact The comic's creator based the Jackai child rearing method off that of the titular creatures from the show Gargoyles of which she is a fan. The demons are shown to be egg-layers but a good deal of them resemble mammals of some kind. However, this trope is still in play even for the ones who look like birds or reptiles as their eggs are round, slimy and transparent like that of a fish or amphibian rather than shelled. And then there's this kicker: |

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist: Hopeyes lay eggs despite being the Fantastic Fauna Counterpart to various rodents.

The plot of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is to break the ostentatious egg of the Wind Fish, which is essentially a gigantic, telepathic whale with disproportionately tiny wings (Also to fight evil Kirby clones, but that's irrelevant at the moment). How the egg was actually laid by the (seemingly male) Wind Fish and why it houses a mysterious labyrinth can both likely be explained by the whole adventure being All Just a Dream. Specifically, the Wind Fish's dream, which Link is trapped in. | |

Played with on American Dragon: Jake Long. Jake spends an entire episode protecting a griffin egg, finally returning it to its mother. It then hatches...and the mother eats the baby. While Jake is horrified, Fu Dog calmly explains that since griffins are half-bird and half-lion, the mother just needs to carry the baby the mammalian way for a bit. Oddly, we have to presume the dragons actually don't come from eggs, since Jake's dad still doesn't know what's going on. Then again, these dragons are human most of the time anyway. | |

Pokémon: Every single Pokémon ever. Including the whales. And the plants. And the rocks. And the ghosts. And the robots. And the eggs. And the god too. Apparently, the first thing to ever exist was the egg of Arceus! And the age-old question is put to rest. A diary entry in the Cinnabar laboratory states that "Mew gave birth," making it seemingly the sole exception. Mew is also among a subset of Pokémon that are functionally genderless and never lay eggs. On the other hand, the birth may or may not have happened, as every piece of information on Mewtwo's origins are contradicted somewhere else. It could have been just a metaphor, since it is said that Mew's genes were used in the creation of Mewtwo. The journal explaining Mew giving birth was also during a time where there were no breeding mechanics at all until Pokémon Gold and Silver. Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee! retcons the journal to say Mewtwo was created in an artificial growth chamber. The question of how any particular mon couple mates and lays eggs is sidestepped. To breed two creatures, you leave them at "daycare" together; eventually one of the daycare-takers will give you an egg, saying that they "don't know where it came from, but your Pokémon had it." There's a trainer class of "Pokémon Breeders," but somehow no one in-universe seems to know how the eggs are produced. Considering some of the Pokémon that can breed together, this may be a good thing. Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver finally seem to address this issue in a scene involving Arceus at the Sinjoh Ruins: every time a Pokémon egg comes into the world, it's literally because Arceus created it. And finally subverted by an NPC in Coumarine City in Pokémon X and Y: according to him, Pokémon eggs aren't really eggs at all, and instead are sort of like a "cradle" for newborn Pokémon to develop in until they're strong enough to survive in the world. This is also why a majority of them are Born as an Adult. That said, it brings up questions about how different species can breed since some would logically lay eggs and others would give birth, but can reproduce together anyway. |

Creatures: The Norns and Ettins look mammalian (and one popular third-party breed for the second game was able to nurse their young,) but all three creature types lay eggs (of course, they were all genetically engineered by an entire species of extremely absent-minded scientists, so they don't necessarily have to make that much natural sense). The scientists were also so squeamish (canonically!) as to have to invent kisspopping, so whatever process results in the eggs, they likely found it more emotionally palatable than seeing a miniature version of the Norns (et. al.) being shoved out of an orifice of another. | |

The Uryuoms of El Goonish Shive zigzag this trope: they can create eggs despite being a One-Gender Race but do so using unspecified "secretions" (which usually requires two Uryuoms to get enough). Once created, these eggs will accept DNA from any combination of genders and species and produce a viable chimeric offspring which hatches after an incubation period. Despite being entirely biologically derived, a Uryuom egg is more like a Magitek Uterine Replicator than anything else and so is an egg in name only. | |

In the Leviathan Trilogy, the perspicacious loris is hatched from an egg and, judging from what one character says, many fabricated beasts are "born" this way. | |

And finally subverted by an NPC in Coumarine City in Pokémon X and Y: according to him, Pokémon eggs aren't really eggs at all, and instead are sort of like a "cradle" for newborn Pokémon to develop in until they're strong enough to survive in the world. This is also why a majority of them are Born as an Adult. That said, it brings up questions about how different species can breed since some would logically lay eggs and others would give birth, but can reproduce together anyway. | |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan features Doraemon's Life Creation Set, a gadget that can create artificial life that's later hatched from eggs — one of those constructs being a Pegasus named Pega. | |
