Star Trek “Devil In The Dark”
“I’m a Doctor, not a pastry chef!” as McCoy might have said, when encountering these Horta eggs in classic Star Trek . (What he actually said was, “…not a bricklayer.”)

Egghead
The eggs-tremely egg-citable Egghead saw his plans scrambled by Batman on many an occasion in the ’60s TV series. Vincent Price played yolky villain in a white and yellow suit, and not a shell suit, thankfully.

Chang Tzu
Sticking with DC, possibly the strangest villain ever in DC universe (and that’s saying something) was Chang Tzu (originally Egg Fu) who first appeared in Wonder Woman #157. He was a Chinese Communist agent with a scrambled brain and (before he had a shave for later appearances*) a moustache that he used to whip his enemies.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer “Bad Eggs”

Harry Potter
Dragons’ eggs appear in both The Philosopher’s Stone (in which Hagrid hatches one and sexes it incorrectly) and The Goblet Of Fire (in which Harry has to retrieve a golden egg in one of the tasks in the Triwizard Cup). Apparently Hungarian Horntails get very annoyed if you suggest, “Yo mama was a golden goose!”
