Egg

An egg (also called, rather more prosaically, a non-spark) is any part of a pattern that looks like a spark, but isn't one. For example, an overweight spaceship or overweight emulator produces an egg rather than a belly spark, and is subsequently destroyed by it.

In OCA, it may also refer to a cell that causes the dead cells inside of its neighborhood to come alive.
