Line 58:
* Technically speaking, the same thing happens in ''[[Temeraire|His Majesty's Dragon]]''. Laurence and Temeraire have another one to deal with two books later in ''The Black Powder War''.
* In [[Diana Wynne Jones]]' book ''[[Chrestomanci|The Pinhoe Egg]]'', the main character finds a {{spoiler|gryphon}} egg in an attic, and cares for it until it grows up.
* In the [[Dr. Seuss]] book (and ''[[Bob Clampett]]'' cartoon adaptation) ''Horton Hatches the Egg'', an elephant takes on the task of hatching the egg of a irresponsible bird. [[Lamarck Was Right|The offspring ends up being a bird with the head of an elephant.]]
* The Daenerys subplot in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire|A Game of Thrones]]'' features three ''fossilized'' dragon eggs. {{spoiler|Once Dany figures out the meaning of her family's motto and its origins in Valyrian sorcery, it turns out her eggs are not so much dead as dormant -- which is why in the subsequent books she's called Daenerys the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons.}}
* In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone]]'', Hagrid gets ahold of a dragon egg, which hatches into Norwegian Ridgeback which Hagrid dubs Norbert. Little Norbert, with his vicious, fire-breathing ways, quickly becomes a liability (especially as keeping dragons is illegal), and he is dispatched to Romania, much to Hagrid's distress.
Line 66:
* In ''Nomads of [[Gor]]'' Tarl is tasked by the Priest-Kings to retrive the last egg of the Priest-Kings, the only female, to start their cycle anew.
* ''[[Septimus Heap]]'': The rock that Jenna finds in ''Magyk'' turns out to be one.
