It Brings Up A Question Though, Hypothetically What Would Happen If One Of The Eggs That Were Egg-napped

It brings up a question though, hypothetically what would happen if one of the eggs that were egg-napped by the Egg Eaters hatched right under their noses?

Well, they certainly wouldn't eat it(Well...maybe Rannoch, unless the hatchling appeals to her sense of survival, then she might recognize it as having a warriors spirit. It's really a toss-up with her. )

Matthias would jump on the chance to raise an Egg Eater from birth. His clan would be locked together by a twisted, messed up sense of "family", which is ultimately what he's going for. Hell...a Princess/Prince of the Egg Eaters would be one badass title, don't you think?

so your last comic made me really think....have the egg-eaters ever gotten an egg that maybe was a little too incubated? Like, what's the rate of growth in those things? Do they eat them while they are still new? Does Matthias have a system to ensure they DON'T become incubated? Has a half-formed hatchling ever popped out after the first bite? Would they even care? (looking at Rannoch...)

To answer your question: It happens VERY, VERY, rarely. For example, the incident with Via.

Y'know, I've always imagined the eggs being mostly goop until the last few hours of formation. On one hand, having a full incubation cycle where the hatchling grows steadily is more, uh..."scientifically faithful" to how eggs work.

On the other hand, goop magically evolving into a dragon within the egg shell at the last second sounds like a cool process. It could be observed as a little flash of light from within the shell a few days before hatching. I'd say, 90% of the time the insides are magic goop, and the last 10% is the flesh and blood stage.

The Gang keep their eggs fresh by simply 'not incubating' them, and it hasn't been a problem yet.

Aw yeah,  Achievement UNLOCKED: SPEEDPAINT

Been learning ALOT about the magic of ClipStudio, and in my journeys stumbled across their fantabulous timelapse feature. Oh man, the power... the SPEED... Lmk what ya think!

Be sure to check out my first ever speedpaint over on the YT channel! 

I love that Undertale Animation so much. But I can't help but chuckle knowing that he's being such a hard ass but we all know where they end up. I feel like after it goes black, there should be a "Always sunny in Philadelphia' type of title screen with the text "The Egg Eaters get their ass kicked"

I almost added something like that at the end! He's too confident for his own good XD

BONUS:

I think that other anon meant it's like if Matches was less cartoony and more "this is an actual dragon"

I think it's the fuzz

Oh, no no no, please don't misunderstand.

They're spot on.

Seeing the similarities just had this strange effect. Like accidentally touching the wet side of a camouflaged frog that you thought was a leaf. Not bad. Maybe even a little bit cool. Just had to get past the initial shock of seeing the little fella.
