Multiworm Eggs are not particularly tough, but will defend themselves with a short-ranged spit attack. it is fairly weak and will require many hits to kill an armored X-COM Agent. Subduing the Eggs is not necessary; simply leaving them alone will result in their automatic live capture once all mobile aliens are subdued. Unless ordered to hold their fire, X-COM Agents will automatically fire at Eggs like they would at any other alien. This can potentially waste ammunition.

An immobile pink sac with a flexible tube that spits acid at nearby hostiles.

Multiworm Eggs will not be detected if X-Com searches a building for infestation.

Infiltration
Alien eggs are commonly found within infested Mega-Primus buildings in small static clusters with other lifeforms for protection.
An alien infestation spreading across the city from the initially infested building will also move alien eggs, singularly or with other aliens. Eggs may hatch into Multiworms when being moved. Any eggs appearing on the battlescape cannot move and will not hatch.

Combat

Icon

Multiworm Eggs are immune to psionics.

Alien Eggs are a minmal threat to an armoured agent. Eggs will attack using a weak and short ranged (7 cells) enzyme spit which can be avoided by distance.
It is not necessary to kill eggs since all will be recovered alive via the Bio-Transport Module at successful completion unless they are an unavoidable threat. Agents will engage eggs in combat but this may be a waste of ammunition. If escaping the battlescape, alien eggs should be killed as a priority where possible before exiting to limit further growth of more advanced and dangerous lifeforms.

Resistance
Multiworm Eggs are resistant to stun gas and immune to the stun effect from a Stun Grapple

Alien egg research very important to further X-Com's understanding of alien lifeform reproduction.
