gollark: GϘn.
gollark: Revised description:```Mana courses through this glassy egg, producing a beautiful glow - it's very reflective, almost metallic. It has a red gleam, too, and smells faintly like brine. It shimmers like gold, and it seems as if time is distorted around it. It is much smaller than the other eggs, and looks like lots of pieces of paper folded together and smelling faintly like cheese. It occupies every point in the spacetime continuum.```
gollark: Oh, forgot it.
gollark: Reminder: they'll all be omnidragons.
