Hello all!

This is the EggCave Endangered Species Tracker! Some species are less common than others, and some species are much less common, to the point where their alive population is only in the double digits. The purpose of this page is to track all living instances of our game's rarest species, by population metrics (not by the "endangered" species still available via the Oasis).

As of March 5th, 2026 at 3:19AM ECT, the EST has tracked all living instances* of the 3 rarest retired species: the Vulkan, the Dytoroko, and the Turtlebrella. Additionally, by live tracking of the Prisceil population, the estimated population of 6 more species has been determined. More species will be tracked in time.

Vulkan: 35 living instances
Dytoroko: 37 living instances
Turtlebrella: 39 living instances
Ilknis: Between 39 and 42 living instances
Yill: Between 39 and 42 living instances
Ardapell: Between 42 and 44 living instances
Ormhovod: Between 42 and 44 living instances
Lessama: Between 42 and 44 living instances
Poppy: Between 44 and 45 living instances
Prisceil: 45 living instances


* do note that these numbers cannot yet be exact, as the method used for identifying living instances does not account for creatures that have died and were resurrected using a Resurrection Stone, as that assigns a new egg ID.


If you have an instance of any of the above species that was resurrected using a Resurrection Stone, please ping me and the list will be updated.

And lastly, I want to clarify that the tracking process was done as ethically as possible. There were no efforts made during this process to boost stats for any specific account, and the tracking process was performed while not logged into any account. I am very sorry for any lag caused by this process, that was never the intention.

Thank you for visiting the Endangered Species Tracker!

@spookyfrog
Please ask the people who own these creatures if they want them on a public list. Some people hide creatures on side accounts to keep them from evolving so they can freeze them in certain stages.

Update 1: March 4th, 12:09 PM:

Last night, the Prisceil rarity ranking was #1220. This morning, there were 2 more Prisceil created and the rarity ranking is now at #1217. After manually checking the creature IDs (i did this manually, no scripts used), I was able to find 42 Prisceils that were created before I logged off last night. Thus, it can be determined that there are 42≤x≤44 of each Lessama, Ormhovod, and Ardapell, and 39≤x≤42 of Yill and Ilknis. The original page has been updated with this information.

This means that there are several species with the same amount of living instances. so my next question is how does the website handle tiebreakers? are they ordered alphabetically? which one is older?

I have taken down the lists of all living instances of Vulkan, Dytoroko, Turtlebrella, and Ilknis while I go about reaching out to owners of these creatures. The lists will be added once I can confirm that the owners consent to this.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you for visiting the Endangered Species Tracker!
