* ''{{VideoGame/Deltarune}}:'' Pipis are blue, egg-shaped enemies that are able to explode into a swarm of heads, if not broken beforehand. However, the game claims that Pipis are an invasive species of clam, instead of an egg. They're mainly used by [[spoiler:Spamton, and take over the castle during the Weird route.]]

* An enemy in ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' is a bird that flies across the top of the screen and drops an egg partway through. Downplayed in that, while the egg ''can'' damage you, the real threat is the [[WeaponizedOffspring swarm of mini-birds]] that hatch from it if it hits a platform.

Compare WeaponizedOffspring, which is when the eggs hatch into babies hell-bent on killing you. See also {{Egging}} for the prank involving throwing rotten eggs on people or their properties. SubTrope of AbnormalAmmo. Possibly a form of EdibleAmmunition.

* ''Literature/HouseOfRobotsRobotsGoWild'': During E's rampage through town, he gets several cartons of eggs and starts throwing them around.
* ''Literature/OzmaOfOz''. Nomes believe that eggs are poisonous to them. The Scarecrow throws eggs at the Nome King's eyes, which blinds him and terrifies the other Nomes. Dorothy uses the distraction to steal the Nome King's magic belt.

* Kazooie from ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' fame learns how to fire eggs in the first game (a move that is described as "the ancient way of the egg"). The second game elaborates on this mechanic more by letting Kazooie utilize various types of elemental eggs, such as [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[AnIcePerson ice]] and what's essentially [[ThrowDownTheBomblet grenades]]. Unusually, Kazoooie has two means of firing eggs; rapidly spitting them from her mouth in a direct projectile attack, or launching slow-moving bouncing eggs from her butt ([[ToiletHumor complete with farting noises]]). The latter use is mostly used for puzzle-solving, but it can be useful as an attack in the right situations.

* In ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', egg is a recurring item that you can either consume for health, or throw at enemies. They usually do little damage, but the Rotten Egg in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' was a OneHitKill on most non-bosses.

* ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'': The white bird's special ability is to drop an explosive egg vertically down when you tap the screen again, in order to blow up parts of the pigs' fortress. As a secondary result, the explosion can also RocketJump the bird into other parts to cause extra damage,

* In ''Film/{{Hook}}'', the Lost Boys have cannons that fire eggs.

The above sentence might sound horrifying, but it happens surprisingly often in media, especially video games. Thanks to their oval shape and portable aspect, it's not hard to imagine eggs as a working projectile. This is a particularly common form of attack from avian creatures, with some even being capable of rapid-firing them, while others are able to spit them out instead of... you know, the other way around.
