Gift Eggs

**Gift Eggs** (or simply **Eggs**), are collectibles in *Tattletail*, and are laid by Tattletails..

## Overview

During the course of the game the player can collect a total of 22 eggs hidden around the house, in order to unlock the secret ending. The eggs are relatively small, about the size of a baseball, and contain random objects and trash. They come in several different bright colors, and are presumably laid by Tattletail or Mama as gifts for the Protagonist. Collecting all the eggs will reward the player with an achievement.

## Trivia

* It is speculated that Mama laid the eggs.
* Geneva Hodgson confirmed that Egg #7 (Doll Hair) is a reference to a real-life incident, where a Cabbage Patch Kids Snack Time doll ate a girl's hair and ripped it from her scalp.
* Egg #16 (Used Bandage) may be a reference to the video game "Undertale", an indie RPG game. In that game, the Protagonist's first armor item is a bandage which, when unequipped, converts into a healing item, and is noted to have been used before upon healing the player.
* Everytime the player presses, "Wipe Data" and starts over, the eggs appear different
