This is an egg laid by the mythical uniclops -- a creature like a horse, but with one gleaming horn on its forehead, and one gleaming eye underneath it. So basically a one-eyed unicorn -- well, the one eye is big and centered, so it's not like a unicorn who had one eye poked out (which, given the whole 'big freakin' horn' thing, probably happens a lot in the unicorn community). But I digress.

While unicorns will lay their heads in the laps of virgins, uniclopses will settle for a girl who doesn't go past second base on the first date.
