What's up with the skulls?

[Impos!]

So, around the house and inside packages, you can find a variety of skull items (Cranial Tchotchke) of the Winter and Rosetta aspects.

They also have the aspect of being "An Egg". But because there's no "food" aspect I can't use it in any of those slots, and there's no "remains" aspect so I can't use it any of those either.

Do we get a work bench somewhere really far in that accepts "Egg" type items specifically?

I tried inspecting it and nothing interesting happened. The only thing I haven't tried was using it while reading a challenging book- but I can't imagine that would.. hatch this mystery. (Nheheneheyehe)

So, any clues? Have people fiddled with them before?

I've tried the effort-at-fireplace method, as with the other eggs, but there is no interaction. Perhaps it needs a special kind of fireplace, which I haven't unlocked yet... And what kind of spooky bony lizard-chicken can hatch out of such egg?

Or perhaps it's just an Easter egg. Perhaps the developer just threw a bone (hueh) and we are going to do all the leg work to amuse ourselves.

[Impos!]

Well if that were the case, and they put these skulls in just to tickle their own funny bones, that certainly would be a tad mean. Especially if they had the audacity to egg us all on, but it doesn't seem like they've done that regarding this particular venture yet.

Hopefully though this is all untrue, and these skulls are actually more than they're cracked up to be, huh?

[Yxklyx]

Well, the ones that look the other way can be considered for something. A simple memory I think.

Labeling skulls as "eggs" seems so arbitrary that I would be really surprised if there wasn't a deeper meaning to it. That said, if there is one, I haven't found it yet. I didn't look very hard though, I'm currently getting lost in other games (though I'm pretty sure I'll return to BoH after the next major patch).

There is a recipe that gives a hint "if you add an egg ...", and I thought that might be a use for the skulls, but sadly it was just referring to a regular chicken egg.

As Yxklyx observed, the "glinting" tchotchkes can be "considered", and you'll find something in them. For me it wasn't a memory, but an object that explained the glinting. However, I could craft that object very easily by that point, so I didn't pursue this further.

[Impos!]

Huh, so the glinting ones are somewhat special at least.. I guess I should of tried "considering" both before reporting back.

Not all eggs can be hatched, it's the combination with "brewable" that does that.

There's three crafting recipes in the game that require an egg (brewable or not) and the skulls qualify for them: the chimeric larva, the stymphling and the living relic

Hmm, I knew this already- but without any slots that want to take "Thing" or "Egg" (At least that I've found so far), how can I apply them anywhere?

They apply, but neither of the skulls have an aspect that allows them to be slotted into a workstation (they're just Eggs and Things), so it doesn't really matter that they apply; they still can't be used.

I think it's just a consistency with lore thing: like how wounds, keys and locks, passageways, and snakes are all associated with Knock, Scales is associated with things that are old (think Gods-From-Stone times), stone, and eggs. Skulls and eggs have some connections state in both this game and going back to *Cultist Simulator*, too, IRC. I agree it's kind-of misleading, though, and think it might be the remnant of something that was planned and scrapped or put off until later.
