[Wii] Monster Hunter Tri >> Monster Eggs - what are they for?

Hi Everyone.I just started Monster Hunter Tri and occasionally I find monster eggs during quests. Problem is, those things don't fit in your pack and it slows down your movements and prevents you from attacking and picking up items. Occasionally, there's this old guy in the Hunter's camp that trades for it, but the items he gives are nothing. Is there any real point to these monster eggs?Oh, please don't tell me to go to Gamefaqs or some other site like it. I want specific info on this subject - if I see a walkthrough, then I'd probably look through it, and I don't want that to happen.Thanks

You can trade some of them for RP in the village. That's all I know.

Mostly for RP but some times is a side quest nothing ells they are use for.

So these eggs show up during normal hunts - outside of ques ts? So far, the only time I've spotted them is during a quest, which is really annoying - stops me from doing anything.

Seriously? I thought it could've been used for a Trade with the ship captain, or heck, raise the damned dragon and fly around with it haha.
