Mogstation taking another step to the darkside

[Soge01]

Just saw the mount in Mogstation and can understand what OP is pointing out. There's an egg hanging from its side and is carrying a basket. I don't know about the rest of you but sure looks like SE is trying to test us to see if a good number of us will buy that obvious seasonal looking mount or not instead of just doing the event and unlocking it.

And yes, I know the mount isn't part of the event, but it's still very suspicious how it looks like it should be a part of the current seasonal event.

I saw only a purple gemstone.

It doesn't carry an egg, though. It's a gem. A stone. So no, it's not a seasonal mount. Maaaaaaaybe it was intended to be one, but we could never know that for sure.

As for the timing - Hatching event associates with Spriggans among players and in its story, so right now is just the best time to implement it from "when we can get the best sales from it" standpoint.

As the others said already, it's a gemstone, and I'm fairly sure all normal spriggans have some kind or rock or gem either on a belt in the same position, or carry it there.
