Catch a Monster Egg Hatching Guide: All Egg Types, Locations & Hatch Times

Eggs are one of the most exciting ways to obtain rare and powerful monsters in Catch a Monster. Unlike catching wild monsters where you see what you're getting, eggs add an element of surprise – you never know if you'll hatch a common monster or a legendary creature! This comprehensive guide covers everything about the egg system.

Understanding the Egg System

In Catch a Monster, eggs are special items that spawn throughout the game world. When you walk over an egg, you automatically pick it up and add it to your inventory. To hatch an egg, you need to place it in an Incubator and wait for the timer to complete.

Why Eggs Are Important

Eggs are valuable because:

• Higher tier chances - Eggs can hatch monsters at higher tiers than wild spawns
• Exclusive monsters - Some monsters can only be obtained from specific egg types
• Passive progression - Eggs continue hatching even when you're offline
• Boss rewards - Boss eggs are guaranteed drops from defeating bosses

All Egg Types in Catch a Monster

Here's a complete breakdown of every egg type currently in the game:

Fire Eggs (Volcano Eggs)

Fire Eggs are among the most sought-after eggs because they can hatch the legendary Noctane.

Possible Hatches:

• Blazelord (Common) - Fire type, solid stats
• Ember (Common) - Fire type, good for fusion
• Flameling (Uncommon) - Fire type
• Noctane (Rare) - Legendary fire type, highly sought after!

Pro Tips:

• Fire eggs spawn on specific spots around the volcano crater
• Check inside the volcano for additional spawn locations
• The spawn timer is relatively quick, so return often
• Noctane has approximately a 5% hatch rate from Fire Eggs

Water Eggs

Water Eggs are important for obtaining the rideable Aquron mount.

Possible Hatches:

• Aquron - Rideable water mount, essential for island travel
• Splasher - Water type, good for early game
• Other water-type monsters

Why Aquron Matters: Aquron is the only rideable water mount in the game. Without it, you cannot swim to other islands! If you haven't caught an Aquron yet, Water Eggs are a guaranteed way to get one eventually.

Boss Eggs (Pyro Eggs)

Boss Eggs drop when you defeat the Flaragon/Pyrowulf boss on Volcano Island.

Possible Hatches:

• Flaragon/Pyrowulf (High chance) - Powerful fire boss monster
• Other volcano fire-type monsters
• Chance for A-tier hatches

Boss Egg Competition: When the boss dies, ONE egg drops that ANY player can pick up. This creates competition:

• Stand close to where the boss will die
• Spam the E key (or tap quickly on mobile) when the boss HP reaches zero
• Faster players get the egg
• Server hopping can help you find fresh boss spawns

Ice Eggs

Ice Eggs are found on Frost Island and can hatch the powerful Glazadon.

Possible Hatches:

• Frostbite - Common ice type
• Icicle - Ice type monster
• Glazadon (Rare) - One of the best monsters in the game!

Event Eggs

During special events, unique eggs become available:

Thanksgiving Event (Turkey Eggs):

• Location: Event shop, purchased with Flarecast Feathers
• Hatch Time: Varies
• Possible Hatches: Starshade, Fluffairy, Flarecrest, and other event exclusives

Pro Tip: Event eggs often have better odds for rare monsters. Prioritize farming event currency when events are active!

How to Use the Incubator System

The Incubator is where you hatch your eggs. Here's a complete walkthrough:

Step 1: Collect an Egg

Walk over any egg in the game world to automatically pick it up. Eggs go directly into your egg inventory.

Step 2: Find an Incubator

Incubators are located:

• On Starter Island near the Pet Center
• At various points on other islands
• Look for the glowing incubator machines

Step 3: Place Your Egg

Interact with an empty incubator and select which egg to incubate. The timer will start immediately.

Step 4: Wait for Hatching

You have two options:

• Stay in-game: Watch the timer count down
• Log off: Eggs continue hatching offline!

Step 5: Collect Your Monster

When the timer reaches zero, return to the incubator and collect your new monster. It will be added to your inventory.

Incubator Mechanics & Tips

Understanding these mechanics will help you maximize egg efficiency:

Incubator Slots

• You have 2 incubator slots available
• Both slots can run simultaneously
• Plan your eggs to maximize uptime

Offline Hatching

• Eggs continue hatching when you're logged off
• This is one of the best features for passive progression
• Before logging off, always fill both incubator slots!

Tier Chances from Eggs

Eggs have different tier odds than wild catching:

As you can see, eggs have double the A-tier chance compared to wild catching!

Where to Find Each Egg Type

Starter Island Egg Locations

• Water Eggs: Beach area, near the shore
• Basic Eggs: Scattered throughout grassy areas

Volcano Island Egg Locations

• Fire Eggs (Crater): Around the rim of the volcano crater
• Fire Eggs (Inside): Within the volcano interior
• Boss Eggs: Dropped by Flaragon boss only

Frost Island Egg Locations

• Ice Eggs: Throughout the snowy areas
• Glazadon Boss Eggs: From the Glazadon boss fight

Egg Farming Strategies

Here are the most efficient ways to farm eggs:

Strategy 1: Fire Egg Route

1. Go to Volcano Island
2. Circle the volcano crater, collecting Fire Eggs
3. Enter the volcano interior for more spawns
4. Wait for Flaragon spawn, defeat for Boss Egg
5. Repeat the circuit

Strategy 2: Boss Egg Focus

1. Join a server and check if Flaragon is alive
2. If dead, server hop to find a fresh spawn
3. Defeat the boss and grab the egg
4. Server hop again for the next boss

Strategy 3: Overnight Hatching

1. Before logging off, farm multiple eggs
2. Fill both incubator slots with long-timer eggs (Fire Eggs)
3. Log off and let them hatch overnight
4. Wake up to hatched monsters!

Egg Stealing Prevention (Boss Eggs)

One frustrating aspect of boss eggs is that anyone can pick them up. Here's how to secure your eggs:

Positioning Tips

• Stand directly on top of where the boss will die
• Face the boss so you're looking at its center
• Get as close as possible

Timing Tips

• Watch the boss HP bar carefully
• When HP is nearly zero, start spamming E
• On mobile, tap repeatedly in the center of your screen

Platform-Specific Advice

• PC Players: Spam E key rapidly
• Mobile Players: Tap as fast as possible
• Console Players: Mash the interact button

Backup Plan

If someone steals your egg, you can:

• Server hop to find another boss
• Team up with friends to secure drops
• Focus on other egg types

Neverland Expansion: Blossom & Rosette Eggs

The Neverland Expansion introduced two new exclusive egg types with a unique dual-egg system.

Blossom Eggs vs. Rosette Eggs

Visual Similarity: Both eggs look nearly identical, creating an exciting mystery element when you find them!

Location: Both egg types spawn in Neverland:

• Near the Waterfall (northwest area of island)
• Island Center (around the heal pole)
• Dark Forest Paths (between spawn and ShadeKnight arena)

Hatch Time: Both eggs require 1 hour 20 minutes to hatch

Blossom Egg (Standard Tier)

Blossom Eggs are the more common Neverland egg variant.

Dolce Fay:

• Creepy doll-like creature
• Mid-tier Neverland difficulty
• Stats: Above average (solid B-tier potential)

Nightclaw:

• Strongest non-boss monster in game
• C-Rank Nightclaw: 10,000 Damage (Level 25)
• Comparison: Outclasses C-Rank Glazadon (6,900 DMG) and Mountusk (7,000 DMG)
• Best XP farming pet (704 XP per kill)

Rosette Egg (Premium Tier)

Rosette Eggs are the rare and valuable Neverland variant.

• Estimated hatch rate: 0.5-1% (extremely rare)

✨ S-Rank Potential (unconfirmed for standard monsters)

• Rosette may be able to hatch S-Rank Dream Tane/Dolce Fay
• Would make these the strongest versions available

How to Tell Them Apart

The Problem: Both eggs look visually identical when you find them!

You Won't Know Until:

1. You pick up the egg and check inventory description
2. The egg hatches and reveals its contents

Egg Name Check:

• Open Inventory → Eggs Tab
• Hover over the egg to see its name
• "Blossom Egg" = Standard tier (E-B Ranks)
• "Rosette Egg" = Premium tier (E-A-S Ranks + Legendary)

Neverland Egg Farming Strategy

Step 1: Efficient Route

1. Spawn at Neverland
2. Check waterfall area (left side)
3. Circle island center around heal pole
4. Check dark forest paths
5. Return to spawn and server hop if needed

Step 2: Identify Egg Type

1. Pick up all eggs you find
2. Open inventory to check names
3. Prioritize hatching Rosette Eggs (higher tier potential)
4. Hatch Blossom Eggs for fusion fodder

Step 3: Overnight Strategy

1. Fill both incubators with Rosette Eggs (if you have them)
2. Log off overnight (1h 20min hatch time)
3. Wake up to high-tier potential hatches
4. Repeat cycle

Neverland Egg FAQ

Q: How do I unlock Neverland? A: Complete the main questline through all previous islands (Starter, Volcano, Frost). You'll unlock access to Neverland via ferry at Level 30+.

Q: What's the spawn rate for Rosette Eggs? A: Approximately 1 Rosette for every 4-5 Blossom Eggs. They're rare but farmable.

Q: Can I get S-Rank Nightclaw from Rosette Eggs? A: Unconfirmed. Community reports suggest A-Rank is the highest for standard monsters, but S-Rank may be possible (very low rate).

Q: What is the Legendary monster from Rosette Eggs? A: Not fully revealed. Speculation includes fairy-type or mythic creature. Extremely rare hatch.

Q: Should I prioritize Neverland eggs over other egg types? A: Yes, if you're Level 30+. Rosette Eggs offer the best A-Rank hatch potential in the game. Lower-level players should focus on Fire/Ice eggs first.

Q: Do Luck Gamepasses affect Rosette Egg hatches? A: Community testing is inconclusive, but luck likely improves tier chances (E→D→C→B→A progression).

Conclusion

The egg system in Catch a Monster provides an exciting alternative to catching wild monsters. With higher tier chances, exclusive monsters like Noctane and Glazadon, and the convenience of offline hatching, eggs should be a core part of your progression strategy.

Updated Key Points:

• Always keep your incubators running
• Prioritize Rosette Eggs from Neverland (A-Rank potential + Legendary)
• Farm Fire Eggs for Noctane chances
• Compete fiercely for Boss Eggs
• Use overnight hatching for long-timer eggs (Neverland = 1h 20min)
• Nightclaw from Rosette Eggs = best non-event monster for endgame
