What is Dreadstinger in Steal An Egg?
Dreadstinger is one of the best pets to come out of Dr. Scramble's Laboratory, a crafting system where you trade in eggs instead of hatching them for a chance at a reward.
It is the top prize on the Laboratory's Experimental banner, so if you are trading in Experimental Eggs, Dreadstinger is what you are really chasing.
The Laboratory rotates through a few egg pools and runs alongside timed drone invasions where you collect Samples, so grinding for Dreadstinger also nets you other event rewards along the way.
