Core skill
A complete route for how to steal eggs in Raise an Anomaly without mixing in hatch or feed steps.
Updated

How to steal eggs in Raise an Anomaly is the first real skill. The official sentence is “Steal eggs from SCP monsters.” Official art shows the monster as a tall guardian over a crib while you lift a small figure.
This guide stops when the egg is in your lab. Hatching is the next guide on purpose, so the two pages do not share a keyword.
Camera the guardian and the crib together. If you cannot see an exit path, you are not ready. Five-player servers mean another avatar may already be in the steal animation.
The yellow-polo figure in official art is the steal target in the picture, not a confirmed in-game species name. Grab the egg object the prompt offers, not a random lab toy.

Trigger the steal prompt, then immediately path home. Community reports describe a chase. Whether or not that chase is scripted the way other wikis say, standing in the crib is how you lose the egg.
Home is your lab plot, not the nearest hallway. Parking the egg in someone else’s room does not count.
If you never arrive, or you arrive and cannot leave, that is a Speed problem. Community coverage puts Speed on a treadmill. Train it, then retry the same crib before you invent a new route.
The New Zone announced on 16 September 2026 is where under-trained Speed shows up. Do not treat a failed new-zone steal as a broken egg spawn.
There is no official boss HP table. The crib guardian is a steal hazard. You are not supposed to “beat” it with a weapon — the game does not publish weapons.
If a video titles itself as a boss fight, you are watching commentary, not a sourced mechanic.
You are done when an egg you stole is sitting in your lab, ready to hatch. That is the whole problem this URL solves.
Secret eggs and shiny eggs are optional side objectives on the eggs wiki page. They are not required to finish your first steal.
