This peculiar egg is wrought from a macabre fusion of materials, its exterior constructed from hardened blood that has been reinforced with chips of deep crimson ruby and veins of black coal. The shell itself feels warm to the touch, almost alive, and is covered in a fine layer of soft, downy fuzz that clings to anything that handles it. Within the egg's dark interior, fine ash swirls and settles, serving as a vital medium for the mysterious embryo gestating within. The ash seems to shift of its own accord, drawn to and nourishing the developing form at the egg's center. Those attuned to dark magic report that the egg emanates a faint, unsettling energy that pulses rhythmically, as if a terrible heart beats within. The combination of blood, ruby, and coal creates an aura of dread, suggesting that whatever hatches from this egg will be a creature of shadow and sorrow. Scholars of forbidden lore suggest that the egg requires specific conditions to mature, and that its eventual hatching will herald something sinister.

This grotesque ovoid is encased in a layer of stretched skin—whether harvested from beast or humanoid, none can say with certainty. The egg itself pulses with a sickly warmth, and beneath its translucent membrane, shadowy forms writhe in anticipation. When conditions prove favorable and the protective skin covering remains intact, the egg will eventually rupture to release ravenous larvae known as tributes. These newly hatched creatures possess an insatiable hunger and will consume any organic matter in their vicinity, growing at an alarming rate until they achieve their full, horrifying adult form. The egg seems to draw sustenance from the very skin that encases it, creating a nauseating symbiosis between host and parasite. Those foolish enough to handle such an object would be wise to consider whether the potential danger justifies any benefit, as the consequences of an accidental hatching could prove catastrophic.
