Maggot eggs are obtained by killing the Maggot King and taking eggs from its corpse rather than looting the stomach. There are six variants of maggot eggs, each offering a different chance of hatching into the maggot marquess pet.

When taking into account the drop rate of all six eggs, alongside the pet rate from the eggs, the overall chance of receiving the pet from taking eggs is 1/1,502.4 to receive the pet on a given kill, which is roughly 2.33 times the drop rate from looting the stomach.[1]
