Line 25:
* ''[[Natsume Yuujinchou]]'': Natsume takes care of a small egg found in a nest—which hatches into a "dragon". At first, however, it appears to take the form of an extremely ''tiny'' version of whatever creature it sees first—namely Natsume. It is possibly the [http://media.photobucket.com/image/natsume%20yuujin%20chou%20tama-chan/looniekat/Natsume%20Yuujin-cho/snapshot20090128191748.jpg cutest thing to ever exist in anime.]
* Played with in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' anime, where the giant steel bird Dynablade lays an egg that later disappears, with fragments of its shell around. The other characters suspect that Kirby has eaten the egg, and [[Mama Bear|Dynablade ain't happy...]]
* In ''[[Digimon]],'' digi-eggs are the beginning ''and'' end of a Digimon's life cycle, with a Digimon reverting to egg form after "[[Death Is Cheap|death]]." (There are exceptions to this, such as [[Digimon Tamers|season three]], which began the trend of new seasons being AU and thus had different rules, and {{spoiler|[[Digimon Savers|season five]], in which rebirth was automatic again... making it all the more horrible when the villainous Kurata creates a means of corrupting a Digimon's data so it can't ever be reborn.}} Once, Seraphimon, a ''god/king'' to the [[Digimon Frontier|season four]] version of the Digital World, had to be toted around by Bokomon, who had it strapped to his stomach and ''acted pregnant for well over ten episodes'' until Seraphimon hatched as Patamon. And then proceeds to refer to Bokomon as his "[[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|papa-mon]]". No reference or mention is made of the fact that Bokomon could, if he wanted to, become [[The Man Behind the Man]] ruling 1/3 of the digital world.
* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'':
** In the anime, Ash and his friends found and looked after an egg for a while which eventually hatched into a Togepi (that became the [[Team Pet]] for a while). This Togepi saw Misty as its mother. Perhaps slightly spoofed in that Ash was the one who found the egg, and is pissed that the Togepi didn't therefore attach to him.
