There is the possibility that you're analyzing it too hard. If so, that's ok. We've got a nasty habit of doing that around here.

That said, out of nearly 200 monsters, honestly it's pretty much a given that there are gonna be those that squick you out truly and completely. For me, it's the sandworm. For you, it's the humpty egg. So it goes.

EDIT: Also, she does not ~have~ to be fertilized. Unfertilized eggs are quite regularly laid. Grant you, in the real world they're not biologically viable at that point, but the MGE isn't the real world. So, there is the possibility that a JubJub egg wouldn't have to be fertilized to spawn a Humpty. I wouldn't call it canon, mind. Just saying that real-world logic need not apply at all times in the MGE.

Also, the Humpty Egg squicks me out, too, but not for strictly the same reasons. This thing's straight up toddlercon, or so close it ain't funny. ...Which I suppose is fairly close to your reason. Soooooo...

EDITY EDIT: Also, if you look at it the way KC's depicted it, it's really NOT a fetus. It's not even an embryo. It is literally JUST the yolk given life by Demonic Energy.

Still weird, and still way too child-like in appearance for me, but yeah.
