History Main / EggshellClothing

** The first boss in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2''.

** Togepi. Its evolved forms are weird because they match the colors/patterns of the eggshell rather than Togepi's body.

** Jr. Troopa from ''VideoGame/{{Paper Mario|64}}''.

** In another one called "Booby Hatched", it's a duck egg trying to find a place to get warm. The mother duck finds it and saves it from being boiled; as she picks him out of the pot, the duckling hatches and shouts "Aw, ma! Just when I was getting warm!" and jumps back in.

** In one a turtle egg gets separated and wanders around trying to hatch, and when he does he complains that he's still in a shell.
** In another it's a duck egg trying to find a place to get warm. The mother duck finds it and saves it from being boiled; as she picks him out of the pot, the duckling hatches and shouts "Aw, ma! Just when I was getting warm!" and jumps back in.

** Vullaby may also look like this at a glance since it's a baby bird, but it's actually wearing a skull as a diaper.

* In ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', a number of Planet Guling residents, including the president, wear eggshells as hats or pants.

A SubTrope of ArtisticLicenseBiology, AppropriateAnimalAttire, and ImprovisedClothes.

* Mikken, the chicken from the Kyoro-chan anime, wears a pair of pants that look like part of an eggshell. Whether they are made from his actual egg is unknown.

* In the Archie Comics' ''[[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Sonic The Hedgehog]]'' comic, the character Speedy, heir to the leadership of the Battle Bird Armada, wears an eggshell around his crotch, which fans often point out makes him look like he's wearing a diaper.

*** Averted with the Yoshi Kid from the sequel, where his diaper/shorts only have a similar polka-dot pattern as a Yoshi egg.

Contrast RemovableShell (the shell that's supposed to stay on can come off).

* In the ''WesternAnimation/USAcres'' segments of ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', there is a chick called Sheldon who, unlike his brother Booker, never fully hatched out of his shell and wears it all the time, with only his legs sticking out. In one episode the shell cracked and fell off, only to reveal that he had another shell underneath it. In other episodes, it's hinted that the inside of his shell is like a whole room to him, and he even once attempted to hang pictures on his wall (which resulted in his shell partially cracking due to the nails piercing it, but it didn't come off nor did any part of him become more visible).

* In ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' and ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', your Chao can wear eggshells as hats.

* Many Franchise/{{Digimon}}; Digitamamon takes it to the extreme, with a complete eggshell body and cracks for legs and eye slits. He can leap at an enemy and close all the cracks to basically use himself as a ''battering ram.'' (In case you're wondering, Digitamamon has a pocket universe in there. His attack is to pull you in for a few seconds. It is [[CallingYourAttacks called]] [[EldritchLocation Nightmare Syndrome.]] We saw the inside briefly and it goes on ''forever,'' and there's still no sign of what the Digitamamon's whole body within the egg looks like.) There's a so-far-cardgame-only ''evil'' version named Devitamamon with a head made of monstrous jaws and too many eyes coming out of the eye slot.

* In the Archie Comics' [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Sonic The Hedgehog]] comic, the character Speedy, heir to the leadership of the Battle Bird Armada, wears an eggshell around his crotch, which fans often point out makes him look like he's wearing a diaper.

* Togepi from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' basically use the eggshell they hatch from as a one-sie - only the head and stubby limbs poke out.

* Mikken, the chicken from the Kyoro-chan anime wears a pair of pants that look like part of an eggshell. Whether they are made from his actual egg is unknown.
