# Enchanted Egg

Enchanted eggs are a consumable type of shadow material used to capture other mobs. They have I, II, III, and IV variants. Each variant has a different chance of capturing a mob.

The mob captured retains all of its metadata. For example in the case of capturing a villager that you've already traded with, it will capture all the trades. 

Once you've captured a mob, white particles will appear.

In your inventory will be an egg containing the mob. You can then respawn this exact mob by throwing this egg. The mobs will respawn with all of the metadata they had when you first captured them.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vertex-wiki.gitbook.io/allura/shadow-materials/intro-to-shadow-materials/enchanted-egg.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
