The Planet Egg (プラネットエッグ Puranetto Eggu?) is an object that appears in the Sonic X anime series. They are large gemstones of varying shape and color. Each Planet Egg embodies the life force of its home planet. They are sought out by the Metarex as part of their plans to destroy all animal life in the galaxy so that plants may rule, but they were foiled by Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies.

Once a Planet Egg is removed from its spot, the planet begins to die, which can take many different forms. On Sonic's world, the plant life began to die out in the surrounding area once the Planet Egg had been extracted from the land beneath Angel Island. On another occasion, the Planet Egg's harvesting turned a desert planet into a gigantic ocean. These effects were reversed after Sonic and co. recovered the Planet Egg, though they had to fight off the Metarex in order to save the planet.

Another world became covered in ice when the Planet Egg was gone, a fact that greatly saddened Cosmo until the Egg was returned. Later, the gang of heroes found a world that had become overgrown by plants. Using the Planet Egg of this world, Cosmo was able to communicate with the vegetation, but it went out of control as a result.

No two Planet Eggs are alike, but only a few are known. The Planet Egg of Sonic's home is a pink square jewel, which is located in the forest under Angel Island. The Planet Egg of the jungle planet is a green sphere with little pillars. Its location might seem to be the middle of the jungle.

Sonic X Station Break In Planet Egg

A Planet Egg, from "Station Break-In".

Historical records on Cosmo's home world revealed that Dark Oak (then known as Lucas), the leader of the Metarex, had first discovered a way to use the Planet Eggs to stabilize the unnatural transformation process he and other male members of Cosmo's species were capable of. He used its power to make himself and the other males immortal, turning them into the Metarex.[1] Because of this, the females led by Earthia left their home world behind after launching a nuclear strike on Green Gate in an attempt to destroy them. Instead, they survived and built metal bodies to support their frail structures.

Ep58-058

The Planet Egg of the jungle planet, from "Desperately Seeking Sonic".

Dark Oak planned to use the Planet Eggs of every planet to grow stronger. For years, the Metarex stole the Planet Eggs of every planet they could reach, as part of their plan to bring peace to the universe.

As a result of their own Planet Egg being stolen, Sonic and his friends boarded the Blue Typhoon and began traveling around the universe in an effort to stop the Metarex.

Sometime later, the Blue Typhoon and Doctor Eggman arrived at a Metarex fortress. After making their way through the defensive gauntlet, they discovered a Planet Egg that had been crystallised by energy from two Chaos Emeralds.[2] Unfortunately, a battle with the Metarex resulted in the Egg being jettisoned and lost.

When all the combatants in the conflict reached Galactic Coordinates 00-00-00, the true plan of the Metarex was revealed: to use the Planet Eggs to conduct a special event that happens once every thousand years. Using the Planet Eggs to grow their bodies and the Chaos Emeralds as a source of power, the three leaders of the Metarex - Pale Bayleaf, Black Narcissus and Dark Oak - transformed into Final Mova. They planned to channel their power through a breach in space time to assimilate all life in the universe into a single, endless and immortal forest, free from conflict or war.[3] Fortunately, their plans were thwarted. After the Metarex were destroyed, all the Planet Eggs scattered back to their home planets in a flash of many lights.[4]

Trivia[]

  • The Planet Egg from Sonic's world resembles the shape of the Chaos Emeralds as depicted in Sonic Chaos, more so the pink colored one (which was discarded in later games).
