=====================================================

In the spirit of Easter, we present our third annual EverQuest Bestiary Easter Egg Hunt.

Some you may find simple, some you may find tricky. You may find some blatant; you may find some obscure. There are 30 eggs hidden among the 25,000+ mobs in the database. Well, 31 including:

0. I am an example clue
And I've been found already --> http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=330 (a hill giant)

For each hidden Easter Egg is a clue. As eggs are found, clues will become unbolded.

Enjoy. Happy Easter!

=====================================================

1. English academics need not apply! Out of place for its race; the opposite of its name; and an enemy to all.

2. Who wants to be a lively millionaire?

3. I may be only a shell of my former self, but I can still help you find your way.

4. Bad dreams won't go away? I may be responsible...

5. Not quite up to the spiritual standard.

6. A year's worth of platinum you'll have to count out. You want me to credit your rations? What's that about?!

7. How about a hand? Or a very big knockback as I'm really two zones away.

8. Cremated, weapons in hand.

9. Could there be an Araneus cavaticus under those nuts and bolts?

10. Real or unreal; still a scholarly intruder.

11. Part of one of its kind; front and center among many players.

12. Like Kithicor and Lord Nagafen; powered up by seven.

13. I want to play a game. Disregard the obvious and it'll be over quite quickly.

14. I'll drain more than just your blood. That'll leave a mark!

15. This clue will not be mentioned.

16. Where you see this, two of me there will be. [img]https://everquest.allakhazam.com/mediabox/easter-2007-thumb.jpg[/img]

17. Rats! A disease on you!

18. Fifth fourth.

19. Tending a fire alongside her kin; benefit, you will, in exchange for some skin.

20. It's a messy situation (or maybe not so). Either way, the Gnomes can have this back.

21. Lovely and round; I am sweet in the sun; I am always hungry... Something's wrong here.

22. Where's the me? I'm what's for dinner.

23. I am a sample of charming influence.

24. A Monk's feign death doesn't always succeed.

25. Time's Up! I am the engine of the train above it all.

26. With four storms a brewin', I'll bring you ruin. If it's time you're wasting, you're in for a pasting!

27. It's a puzzle of 12; don't lose your way. With a faulty move, I'll be out to play.

28. I am worse for wear and a matter of death. Getting too careless? Better hold your breath.

29. Sharing my space, furthest West. I am one of five with only room for four.

30. The last egg has left quite a trail. Starting from the most recently departed, go to the second Kunark zone listed alphabetically. Find the first Quest NPC listed for this zone and follow it through to the quest with which it is associated. Go to the start zone of this quest, and from there to the fourth connected zone listed. Subtract 10 from the total number you get by adding together the level and ID number of the first raid encounter listed in that zone. The number you come up with is another ID number. The NPC attached to the number has the last egg.
