AI Overview
Compiled by AI from community sources — may be incomplete or inaccurate; verify before relying on it.
A gourmet, edible egg harvested from the belly pouch of a slain Grassland-variant Quasi Grazer — prized by chefs for its complex, terroir-driven flavor and sold as a low-value trade/cooking commodity.
What it is
The Grassland Quasi Grazer Egg is a hand-collected harvestable (in-game item class `Harvestable_Trophy_1H_QuasigrazerEgg_Grassland`, UUID `c685ec4c-a44b-4283-a713-4c8c1485a60f`). It is a food-grade egg whose flavor is described as "complex" and varies depending on the source animal's diet and environment, making it a sought-after gourmet ingredient. Mechanically it is a one-handed (1H) carryable item with a size of 1 and a volume of 1,000 µSCU (1 mSCU) and effectively zero mass. The "Grassland" prefix denotes the biome-adapted subspecies of Quasi Grazer it was taken from, distinguishing it from the Desert, Boreal, and Jungle egg variants.

Gameplay use
This is primarily a trade/cooking commodity rather than a crafting reagent or a medical consumable. In lore the eggs are a culinary item "always in demand from restauranteurs and gourmands," and the parent creature is also exploited for its meat and hide. In the current build the egg's main loop is: kill a Grassland Quasi Grazer, harvest the eggs from its belly pouch (a creature carries roughly 8–10 on average), then haul and sell them at shop terminals. There is no documented Wikelo/vendor turn-in reward or medical effect tied specifically to this egg at the time of research.

Value & where to sell
The standardized in-game price is 56 aUEC per egg, listed identically across four shop terminals in the Pyro system: Shepherd's Rest and The Yard (on Bloom), and Bullock's Reach and Kinder Plots (on Terminus). These are the documented buy/turn-in terminals; sell-side data is sparse and the unit value is low. On the player marketplace, quantities are bundled and marked up dramatically — e.g. UEX listings of "50 Grassland Quasi Grazer Eggs" priced around 250,000 aUEC per box, and individual player listings as high as ~100,000 aUEC per unit, which vastly exceed the in-game terminal price. All pricing is volatile and patch-dependent; treat the 56 aUEC terminal figure as the reliable baseline.
Where to harvest
The egg is collected by killing Grassland Quasi Grazers and harvesting the eggs bonded to specialized pouches on the animal's underbelly. Quasi Grazers are one of the standard terraforming "seed animals" and roam grassy plains on terraformed worlds across the UEE; the Grassland subspecies in particular is associated with microTech (Stanton). Because shop turn-in terminals for the egg sit in the Pyro system (Bloom and Terminus), players typically harvest on grassland biomes and sell at those Pyro outposts. Each carcass yields about 8–10 eggs.

Source
The source creature is the Quasi Grazer (nicknamed the "Space Cow"), a large, warm-blooded herd animal. The "Grassland" egg comes specifically from the grassland-biome subspecies. After laying, the eggshells chemically bond to pouches on the animal's belly, where the eggs are carried until they hatch — an unusual reproductive method that is the creature's defining trait.
Grades & variants
There is no A/AA/AAA-style grade system on this item; instead it is differentiated by the biome of its parent subspecies. The four documented Quasi Grazer egg variants are Grassland, Desert, Boreal, and Jungle (a "Tundra" label also appears in some databases). Each variant is its own catalog entry sharing the same gourmet description, with flavor said to vary by the creature's diet and environment. The Grassland egg's distinction is purely its biome origin (the grassland Quasi Grazer subspecies); no documented price premium separates the Grassland variant from the others at the in-game terminal price of 56 aUEC.

Effects
No medical, healing, buff, or poison effect is documented for this egg — it is treated as a gourmet food/trade commodity, not a consumable with mechanical effects. (If cooking systems later make it an ingredient, effects would derive from the prepared dish rather than the raw egg.)
Lore
The Quasi Grazer was originally discovered on the vast plains of Quasi on Terra (Terra III). Because the species proved hardy and useful, it became one of the standard seed animals introduced during terraforming, spreading to most terraformed planets in the UEE. Over time, genetically adapted subspecies emerged to survive in distinct biomes (grassland, desert, boreal, jungle). Colonies value the animal as a multi-purpose resource: its eggs for gourmet cooking, its meat for food, and its hides — tanned in remoter regions — for heavy winter clothing/leather.
Trivia
- The Quasi Grazer is affectionately nicknamed the "Space Cow" by the community. - The egg-carrying mechanic is biologically unusual: shells chemically bond to belly pouches and are carried externally until hatching, rather than being laid in a nest. - Cloud Imperium has highlighted the "four different types of Quasi Grazers" in official social posts, encouraging players to encounter all biome variants. - Players have asked CIG (on Spectrum) to allow farming the eggs without killing the grazers, since the current loop requires slaying the animal.
