A '''nectar egg''' (known as an '''egg''' prior to ''Pikmin 3'') is a white, semi-round object found in alcoves of caves, and on specific places aboveground. It is unknown if they come from any kind of creature or plant and it may be possible that they are merely egg-shaped containers. They can be attacked, and when broken, they release nectar, although they can also release other things including living creatures. The eggs held by [[Honeywisp]]s in ''Pikmin 2'' function identically to grounded eggs. In {{p4}}, large versions of nectar eggs can be found. These 'large nectar eggs' release multiple drops of nectar when broken.

To destroy an egg, it must be attacked with [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], [[punch]]ed at a few times with a [[leader]], or destroyed by an enemy projectile, like a [[Gatling Groink]]'s fireworks.

For ''Pikmin 2'', it is advisable to [[throw]] a [[Purple Pikmin]] onto an egg, as this will immediately break it and contained [[Mitite]]s will be instantly defeated. It is also recommended to destroy an egg with a leader, as a Pikmin thrown at the egg may drink the nectar after being called back, wasting it.

In ''Pikmin 2'', the contents of an egg are picked at [[Randomness|random]] from a list, and they're only chosen on the exact moment the egg breaks, not when the egg is created (i.e. they are not chosen when the area or cave loads). Not every outcome has the same probability of happening.<ref>Data from <code>/enemy/parm/enemyParms.szs/egg/enemyparm.txt</code>.</ref> In story mode, if the game decided on a drop of spray nectar, but the player has not yet unlocked that spray, the outcome will instead be changed to a single drop of nectar.<ref>From instruction <code>0x8034C544</code> to <code>0x8034c590</code> of the European ''Pikmin 2'' DOL; function <code>Game::Egg::Obj::genItem()</code> with debugging symbols.</ref> The chances (assuming both sprays are unlocked or it's outside of story mode) are detailed in the following table:

There are no nectar eggs in [[Pikmin (game)|the first game]], but they can be found in many places in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Their location in [[area]]s is always constant, and they always respawn whenever the area is entered. Underground, there are several sublevels with eggs, some having more than one. Eggs that fall off the ceiling of caves will instantly break when they reach the ground.
