Description
Spider Egg is a passive mob in Remixed Dungeon that eventually hatches into a random spider after 20 turns. Spider Eggs are laid by the Spider Queen and have a limited lifespan before hatching. They represent locations where spiders lay eggs or where young spiders appear.

- Advantage: If you have means to tame or control spiders, allowing it to hatch might be advantageous
- Seed Farming: Has a 20% chance to drop a seed when destroyed, which can be useful
- Avoid Clustering: Be careful that multiple eggs don't hatch nearby, creating a spider swarm
