Precious Egg

Egg and purple crystal pedestal created in Blender for this workspace.
The shell is twice its previous size, with a wider, thicker crystal platform
and 20 irregular pointed shards growing in clusters. The S3O, Blender source
and portrait share this geometry.
TA core_tex1.dds, core_tex2.dds and core_normals.dds supply the material;
original texture contributor attribution and terms remain applicable.
No standalone egg model textures are bundled. The unit portrait
unitpics/precious_egg.png is rendered from the existing Blender source.

The protected egg is a neutral, damage-immune, always-visible unit. After the
Black Dragon dies, it is replaced by an always-visible, non-destructible feature
with 25,000,000 metal. Native gradual reclaim targets 5000 metal/s in total.
The same translucent crystal and purple glow remain on both states.
Reusable scripts and source records are outside the map in tools and docs.
