Egwardo

Egwardo

Egwardo is a gargoyle egg from the Manhattan Clan's 1998 rookery. In fact, it is currently the only egg of the Manhattan Clan that will hatch in 1998.

History

Brooklyn and Katana produced Egwardo during their TimeDancer adventures. Katana carried the egg with her in a back-pack for the next nine years. Arriving back in Manhattan from his TimeDance, Brooklyn introduced the egg to his clan-mates as Egwardo. When an excited Angela asked to hold the egg, Katana was perhaps hesitant. Afterwards, Katana packed the egg into her back-pack and took it with her into battle against the Pack. ("Phoenix")

While Egwardo is routinely guarded by Bronx and Fu-Dog in the clan's rookery, the egg was taken out by Katana on the night Goliath was released from human custody. The following night, Brooklyn shared his and Katana's wish for Lexington, Broadway, and Angela to join them as Egwardo's rookery parents. ("Cold Comfort")

Later that year, Hudson finally spent some time alone with Egwardo, telling the egg how much it meant to him and how much hope it's brought him for the clan's future. The following Thanksgiving, Brooklyn and Katana expressed their own gratitude that once Egwardo hatched, the hatchling inside would have an entire clan to raise it. But those hopes were all dashed when Demona, wielding the Three New Keys to Power enchanted Elisa into tranquillizing Bronx and Fu-Dog and stealing the egg, delivering Egwardo to Antoinette Dracon who then brought the egg to Demona. Demona basked in triumph, vowing to raise Egwardo to hate humans and vie to destroy them. ("Questions", "Unequivocal Success", "Queen of All She Surveys")

In 1998, Egwardo will hatch into the gargoyle known as Tachi. [1][2]

Characteristics

Egwardo is a typical gargoyle egg: egg-shaped, and a pale purple color with spots.

First revealed by Greg Weisman at the 2009 Gathering, Katana originally thought the name 'Egwardo' had a greater significance in English, but soon learned the name to be a joke that she only barely tolerates. ("Idyll or Nightmare")

As of "Phoenix", Egwardo hasn't taken a life. [3]
