#Stealing & Guardians
Eggs are not bought. They are stolen from the nests on the course and carried home.
#Stealing an egg
- Walk up to a nest. A Steal prompt appears within 11 studs.
- Hold E (or the touch button) for one second.
- The egg appears in your hands and a Drop button and an egg slot show in the HUD.
You can steal when you are not already carrying an egg and your egg storage is below MaxEggs (30). Speed and rebirths do not matter.
#The guardian
When an egg is stolen, a dragon guardian spawns next to the thief and chases them at GuardianSpeed (20 studs/s). The thief has a GuardianGraceSeconds (2 s) head start.
If the guardian gets within GuardianCatchDistance (4.5 studs):
- the egg is lost and returns to its nest,
- the player is thrown back to the spawn area of the zone before the egg's zone,
- a warning tells them what happened.
The guardian disappears once the thief reaches the lobby safe zone or their plot.
#Delivering
Carry the egg back to the lobby safe zone or onto your own plot. Delivery is automatic: the egg moves into the player's egg storage and a confetti effect plays. The player then places it on the plot (see Growing, Hatching & Fusion).
#Losing an egg
| Cause | Result |
|---|---|
| Caught by the guardian | Egg returns to its nest, player thrown back one zone |
| Falling into the river | Egg returns to its nest, player lands on the zone behind them |
| Pressing Q / Drop | Egg returns to its nest |
| Dying or leaving | Egg is lost |
The SaveEgg product restores the last egg lost this way.
