A Dragon Egg is a floating egg, found deep in the volcano of The Inferno. Destroying at least three of these orbs (in a single world) will summon The Broodmother. This can be done using any hammer or explosives. They are the Inferno counterpart to The Mire's Hydra Pods.

Multiple Dragon Eggs are found in the Inferno, each located at the bottom of the volcano, surrounded by Torchstone. While mining Torchstone requires at least a Nightmare Pickaxe, Torchstone can be converted to normal Stone Blocks with Purification Powder, and mined with a lower-tier pickaxe. Alternatively, explosives can be used to destroy Torchstone.
