I have by now acquired a considerable amount of data for the studies about the Chocorabbits. Therefore, I'd like to broaden the scope of my Easter research by writing a short guide that will hopefully help people in finding suitable eggs for the occasion.
Of course, I would like to suggest rather peculiar specimens, different from the ones you might find in the common pastry shops… This is why I will venture into unusual places and follow uncommon paths; for the sake of science I willingly accept the burden.
Follow me then, at your own risk, in this uncanny Easter Egg Hunt.
Gift Basket of Easter Treats
Let's start with a typical gift basket: along with the eggs, there are a jar of candies/jellies and a couple of chocolate bunnies (which clearly are just a simple draft of the ones we've come to know).
Recommended:
yes ✔
Classic and reassuring: this is going to be appreciated by all those who love a real, traditional Easter.
Eagle's Nest
Located on a sturdy tree at a considerable height above the ground, this nest holds some Haliaeetus leucocephalus eggs. Better known as the Bald Eagle, this bird of prey has a robust beak and sharp claws; its wingspan can exceed two meters.
Recommended:
no ⚠
Any attempt to steal these eggs would not only be despicable and environmentally unfriendly: it could also turn out to be rather dangerous (just look at the attitude of the guardians of the nest).
Interior decoration
A unique piece, this finely crafted decorative (not edible) egg has enriched the art collections of all the lucky owners who had the opportunity to acquire it.
Recommended:
yes ✔ (with reserve)
To be properly displayed, pieces of such value require a dedicated exhibition space or, at least, a high-level mansion. Not for everyone.
Dragon's Lair
An awesome yet wise creature, the Dragon can breed in places that would be unsuited for any other species: its fireproof and extremely resistant eggs can easily bear being laid in caves full of lava, fire and sharp metals.
Recommended:
no ⚠ (with reserve)
It is known that most adventurers, when entering a den like this one, pay the deed with their own life. It is therefore recommended to keep at a distance. Unless, of course, it is your birthright to be called "Mother of Dragons" or some other close degree of kinship; going beyond "first cousin" should be considered unsafe.
Polar Egg
Possibly the most mysterious specimen of this quest is the strange "polar" egg found in an unspecified ArcticAntarctic area with unstable temperatures. Neither its unusual grain nor other elements could help in identifying the species it belongs to.
Recommended:
hum —
Some tabloids have spread the rumor that the egg could be related to the legendary Yeti (also known as the Abominable Snowman). Evidence seems to exclude this fanciful possibility, which must therefore be considered a hoax with no foundation (at least until proven otherwise).
Alien Brood
Alien eggs like these are being observed in several Space Colonies rather distant from planet Earth. They are generally folded, but under certain circumstances the upper part can "hatch" by exposing the inner part to the surroundings. There is currently no documented evidence of what exactly is supposed to happen then.
Recommended:
absolutely not ⚠
This picture was taken at a safe distance and behind thick bullet-proof glass.
There is a sufficient amount of movies which illustrate the reasons why it may make sense to follow such a conduct.
The glow leaking from the inside can arouse curiosity, but checking the interior in person is not advisable behaviour.
Chocorabbit Eggs
This is the end of my quest for alternative Easter Eggs. I am not completely satisfied with the results, so I'll go back to my favourite specimen: the Chocorabbit Eggs which, as we know since 2010, give birth to new Chocorabbits.
Recommended:
yes ✔ (best choice)
Checking all the known possibilities is one thing that allows science to make progress. But the data in my possession already led to this conclusion: when it comes to eggs, greetings and the Easter period in general, the Land of the Chocorabbits remains the reference point.
