By the time you reach the endgame of Palworld, you'll likely have encountered plenty of Pal Eggs. These collectible Pals-to-be come in a variety of sizes, colors, and types. However, there's a new type of Egg to be found thanks to the 1.0 update: the Ominous Egg. Want to know where to find them, what Pals can hatch from inside, the special passives they can bestow, and more? Read on!

Where to Find Ominous Eggs in Palworld

Like all other Eggs in Palworld, Ominous Eggs don't appear in one specific spot and are randomly spawned, but these random spawns are all limited to being within the World Tree. This means you won't be able to grab any of these purple, glowy babies until you've reached the endgame and unlocked access to the World Tree's interior. Luckily, these Eggs aren't too tricky to find within the World Tree. They spawn at a consistent rate, and at this point in the game you should definitely have a Pal that can fly you around to easily spot a luminescent purple orb. Once you do have an Ominous Egg or two, take them back to your base and pop them into an Egg Incubator so that they can hatch. Of course, if you have a Dynamoff at your base, these Eggs will hatch 20% faster! In case you haven't built an Egg Incubator yet, here are the materials you'll need:

• Ancient Civilization Parts: 2
• Cloth: 5
• Paldium Fragment: 10
• Stone: 30

What kind of Pals hatch from an Ominous Egg? Any Pal that spawns within the World Tree has a chance to pop out. With the exception of the raid boss Astralym, of course. This means it could be new Pals that are exclusive to the World Tree, such as Aegidron, or it could be Pals you're familiar with, such as Grizzbolt or Fenglope.

All World Tree Passive Skills from Ominous Eggs

The real appeal of hatching Pals from Ominous Eggs is the World Tree Passive Skills they can have. These are passives that Pals wandering about the World Tree have a chance of having, but aren't guaranteed to have. Pals from Ominous Eggs, on the other hand, will have one of these passives every time. While these passives can have some massively useful benefits, each one also comes with a detrimental effect. It's up to you to weigh the pros and cons of each passive and decide whether to include it in your party. As an added bonus, each World Tree Passive Skill prevents World Tree resources from vanishing. Normally, you need to consume Holy Water to keep World Tree resources such as Mythical Wood from disappearing. If a Pal with a World Tree Passive is in your party, however, you can collect any resource without worry. Here's a full breakdown of all possible World Tree Passive Skills:
