What is Dreadscale in Steal An Egg?
Dreadscale is the top pull from the Monster Egg, added in the Monster Update. It is a spiky, armored creature and one of the hardest pets to land from that egg's pool.
You get a shot at it from the regular Monster Egg, or from a Monster Chest earned by feeding Infested Eggs to the Hungry Monster event. Either way the odds are low, so most players open a lot of eggs before one drops.
There is also a Mecha version,
Mecha Dreadscale, which can appear if a hatch gets a separate Mecha reroll on top of pulling Dreadscale, making it one of the rarest possible outcomes from the egg.

Weaknesses 4

- The free Monster Chest route needs 5 Infested Eggs and its own chest-opening luck first.

How to use Dreadscale well

Stack up Infested Eggs for Monster Chests if you would rather grind than spend Robux.
Grinding - 02
Hatch Monster Eggs in batches so the 0.5% chance has more rolls to actually land.

Checked 2026-09-29 against 3 sources and written in our own words. Numbers follow the official update notes first, then the wiki, then players.
- Rarity tier: The wiki files Dreadscale under its own Monster rarity tier. Other guides and our own listing group it with Divine-tier pets. We keep our own rarity grouping, shown on the item page.
- Base income: One article quotes a much higher income than the wiki infobox and our tracked data agree on. We use our own value, shown separately on the item page.
