Panic!

never hatch

>>642847
peck at everything as a form of self-defence

Refuse to hatch, no matter how much the hens cackle or the roosters all beg.
Stay in there where it's safe and it's warm, and refuse to hatch.

>>642847
Also, briefly pause to admire the heart on the side of our shell. Try not to think too hard about how we can see the outside while being inside of it.

Start Zen meditation.

You begin to thoroughly flip your shit in your calcium-comprised prison. What madness is this?

>>642850
A small hole is smacked in the side of the rather sturdy encasement, where you can start to see colors of the outside world.

>>642851
You're right, something might be waiting for you to hatch - plotting your demise as soon as you escape! You ponder a moment in the confines of the devil you know.

>>642859
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You must improve and experience and learn!

Also you're hungry.

>>642859
Emerge from the egg as a baby tyrannosaurus rex. Then go on a rampage and eat a lawyer.

>>642859
Fuck that!
We need to get out of this pronto and show whoever thinks they can keep us trapped that WE are in fact the boss now!
PECK EVERYTHING! FLAIL WILDLY!
FURIOUS BIRD NOISES!!!
SHOW THE WORLD YOUR MIGHTY adorabless FURY!

'I breathe, therefore I live. I live, ergo I AM FREE!'

Your time spent meditating is cut short by this revelation. Whatever is waiting out there for you, is going to have a bad day.

Readying yourself to tear down the cage of oppression cast down by cruel hands, emerging as some perceived descendant of a breed of dinosaur - proud and roaring!

But how should the task be done - to fight the unknown hungry for our very being?

Put those mighty talons to the test!
EGG, use SCRATCH!

With speed, cunning, and poisonous quills or something of that nature. If all else fails we can just kick them in the balls.

Have tendrils you can control that can grow and shrink at command.

YOU
ARE
FREE!

You are a breed of harpy that is a descendant of the mighty tyrannosaurus rex, aptly named Rex Harpies. You are not nearly as intimidating as your gargantuan ancestry, but it shows slightly in your facial features -
a sturdy, scaled brow, a tough, leathery nose, and itty bitty sharp teefs that will take time to develop.

You're not too sure what a law rawr is and why you should be eating one, but it sounds like it's in for a scuffle.

(ties in with this suggestion)

>>642895
Peep threateningly at nearest living creature.

>>642901
This, and don't forget to fluff your feathers up for max intimidation!

>>642895
Where's mom? It's time for her to barf some food down our ravenous gullet.

That's how it works for harpies, right?

eat a bit of shell.

You growl and snarl as soon as you're able to work your vocals as a warning to any creature nearby that you are free, and not very happy.

(I apologise in advance, new creature design means a LOT of style jumps until I get it pat down the way I want it. A bit more complicated than my little plant monster for me.)

...maybe we should check if creatures are around before we growl at them. Look around, seek family and food!

Find others to rule over as their new harpy master.

You strut about, full fluff mode, examining your surroundings and stretching your stiff limbs. Wings, talons, downy feathers - all accounted for.

There could be other prisoners, or even the potential of finding your captors.

Your thoughtful mind is distracted numerous times by impulses. Hunt. Kill. Dominate. Rule. It must be your proud Tyrano ancestry.

Procuring supplies, finding allies, taking down your enemies - that could be a problem from waaaaaaaaay up here.

What should be done about it?

Height is a kind of power. Sometimes, jumping down just to see what's on the ground is unwise when there's so much to do on the mountain.

So look around, scavenge for unusual items, and try to draw a map of some kind of the surrounding area.

Practice flying before you leap. You're not used to wind currents yet.

Do you think you can fly?

Jump off, flap wildly. Conquer the skies! (or at least learn to land within three seconds)

You find something tangled in the nest - carelessly left behind. Might it belong to you, or one of your captors?

It appears to be of a crude, dulled metal. It's yours now.

It is a big sky out there. All you can really make out is shapes and shadows - mostly other trees.

It's time to take the first step in CONQUERING it!

Brontosaurus on the left. Go for its jugular!

Enter the gate to your DESTINY!

THE SKIES ARE YOURS FOR THE TAKING!

LET THE RULE OF THE REX HARPIES BEGIN!

You waste no time in learning flight, tossing yourself off the branch with the fervor of a predator starving for the hunt.

The wind whips your downy feathers and hair back furiously. Time slows down, lost in the magic of soaring through the air! Hey, is that the ground? It's getting awfully close.

flap like the wind!

Don't flap, that won't help you. Try to glide. Spread your wings wide!

Once you have gliding down, then you can try flapping.

Your attempts at glide-flapping have netted you a slight slow-down of your descent.

...The important thing is you're alive, away from your round cage. That counts as a success, surely.

That stream you landed in sure has a spooky-looking shape. Sit up, assess your surroundings, make snarly noises at anyone in the vicinity.

stand up, fluff and smooth to unruffle feathers
