This is one of the items that your Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide can help you find. Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide is from Selina Dourman, who resides in the first tent on your left as you enter the Darkmoon Faire.

Turning in this item is part of 2 achievements: Darkmoon Dungeoneer and Darkmoon Despoiler

The artifacts needed for Darkmoon Dungeoneer are:

Collecting all the Darkmoon Faire Artifacts rewards Darkmoon Despoiler. The full list of Darkmoon Faire Artifacts is:

As stated by Blizzard (Source):

The Darkmoon Faire Field Guide

It’s your passport to riches, my friend. Y’see, we need a few things -- just some junk, nothing valuable to a big hero like you. We call ‘em Darkmoon Artifacts, and there’s all different kinds to be found all over Azeroth. The Darkmoon Field Guide helps you discover artifacts while you’re explorin’ dungeons, slayin’ monsters, and fightin’ in Battlegrounds. Without a guide, you’d never notice ‘em, and it’ll help keep you focused on the stuff we want. Whether you just reached level 10, or you’ve crushed the biggest baddies in the land, we need somethin’ from nearly everybody. You won’t have to go too far out of your way to get ‘em and each month you’ll get a new opportunity to seek out an Artifact for us. What do you get out of the deal? Don’t you worry, you’ll get your cut. When you bring a Darkmoon Artifact back to us, you’ll get valuable experience (it builds character, you know!), earn a better reputation, and possibly earn precious Darkmoon Faire Prize Tickets too!

Got the Monstrous Egg to drop off the 8th boss in BRD running it as a lvl 85.

Does anyone know if this is repeatable in the same day/week or can you only do one per week i.e. one per month?

"You won’t have to go too far out of your way to get ‘em and each month you’ll get a new opportunity to seek out an Artifact for us"

As stated above, just wonder if anyone has a confirmation on this. I hate waiting months on end to finish achievements.

Commento di 668582

Please keep in mind that the quest is not repeatable during one DMF festival. After you complete the quest you cannot get it for the second time, as it states when you use an item for the second time "You have already completed this quest". In other words - you can do the quest once every month.
Now, to all the naysayers, Blizzard has confirmed that these quests are to be repeated each month. Source
They have also stated that the quest drops that happen in the dungeons/raids/BG’s happen all the time, even if the faire isn’t in town. Source

Got one of these from Skadi the Ruthless in Utgarde Pinnacle while farming for the Blue Proto-Drake.

Commento di maoli

This dropped from in Lost City of Tol'vir.

Seems to be commonly themed with reptiles/races that use/lay eggs. Likely any bird bosses as well.

Commento di Martika

I can confirm as of this posting that the egg and other artifacts still drop from certain dungeon bosses regardless of your level. I just got it off of the Nerubian boss in Stratholme after 7 runs.

Commento di Karadine

Until Wowhead looter results are in, making a list of reported drop locations.

Seems to drop from bosses that are either beasts, dragons, or related. Maybe birds too? Someone should check out Sethekk Halls.

Gahz'rilla - Zul'Farrak
Nerub'enkan - Stratholme (service entrance)
Aeonus - The Black Morass
Cyanigosa - The Violet Hold
Skadi the Ruthless - Utgarde Pinnacle
Keristrasza - The Nexus
- Lost City of the Tol'vir
- End Time

Commento di misidia

Dropped off Aeonus in The Black Morass.

Commento di mmmysloan

Just got it off last boss in End Time. The Bronze boss. (Cant remember the name for the life of me.) And yes, you must have the DMF Adv. Guide in your bag. What a nice surprise!

Commento di sandyra

What is this? This item Monstrous Egg starts the quest that you can turn in with the Darkmoon Faire whenever it is in town.

How do I get it? In order to be eligible to loot this, you must have the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide in your ~~bags~~ inventory - which can be obtained in one of two ways:

Receive it as a reward from Gelvas Grimegate after completing The Darkmoon Faire for Alliance or The Darkmoon Faire for Horde.
Receive it from Selina Dourman just by talking to her, she stands at the first tent on the left-side of the entrance to the Darkmoon Faire.
Note: if you have The Darkmoon Faire quest in your quest log, Selina will not offer to give you the guide - you will either need to drop the quest and speak to her again or simply hand in at which point you get the guide anyway.

Where do I get it? Monstrous Egg only seems to drop from various level-appropriate 5-man dungeon bosses. Drop locations will continue to be updated as they are confirmed:

Mutanus the Devourer -- Wailing Caverns (dungeon level 17-20)
~~Aku'mai -- Blackfathom Deeps (dungeon level 22-25)~~
Rotgrip -- Maraudon (dungeon level 36-39)
Gahz'rilla -- Zul'Farrak (dungeon level 46-49)
Nerub'enkan -- Stratholme Dead (dungeon level 48-51)
Ambassador Flamelash -- Blackrock Depths (dungeon level 53-56)
Aeonus -- The Black Morass (dungeon level 68 and 70 heroic)
Ghaz'an -- The Underbog (dungeon level 63-65 and 70 heroic)
Epoch Hunter -- Old Hillsbrad Foothills (dungeon level 66-68 and 70 heroic)
Harbinger Skyriss -- The Arcatraz (dungeon level 68-75 and 70 heroic)
Anub'arak -- Azjol-Nerub (dungeon level 72-74)
Cyanigosa -- The Violet Hold (dungeon level 75-77)
Keristrasza -- The Nexus (dungeon level 71-73)
King Dred -- Drak'Tharron Keep (dungeon level 74-76)
Skadi the Ruthless -- Utgarde Pinnacle (dungeon level 79)
Anub'arak -- Azjol-Nerub (dungeon level 80 heroic)
Cyanigosa -- The Violet Hold (dungeon level 80 heroic)
Keristrasza -- The Nexus (dungeon level 80 heroic)
King Dred -- Drak'Tharron Keep (dungeon level 80 heroic)
Skadi the Ruthless -- Utgarde Pinnacle (dungeon level 80 heroic)
Lady Naz'jar -- Throne of the Tides (dungeon level 80-82 and 85 heroic)
Lockmaw -- Lost City of Tol'vir (dungeon level 85 and 85 heroic)
Murozond -- End of Time (dungeon level 85 heroic)
-- (dungeon level 85-87 and 90 heroic)

Why do I want it? There are several reasons that you may want Monstrous Egg:

Receive 10 Darkmoon Prize Tickets upon handing it in - these tickets allow you to purchase mounts, pets and other collectibles whenever the Darkmoon Faire is on.
Receive 250 reputation (or more depending on your racial/guild bonuses etc) with the Darkmoon Faire - great for anyone who is either a rep junkie or is working towards The Insane title awarded by the Insane in the Membrane achievement.
Having completed this quest will count towards the achievement Darkmoon Despoiler.
Gold gold GOLD - since Monstrous Egg isn't BoP (bind on pickup), it is tradable and sellable via the auction house. If you don't care about the above three points, then you can profiteer from someone who does!

What else do I need to know?

High level characters can no longer farm lower level dungeons for Monstrous Egg since a recent hotfix. It is now only obtainable in level-appropriate dungeons, and as always, success is at the mercy of RNG.
The quest can only be turned in once per Darkmoon Faire. You can certainly collect more Monstrous Egg, however if you've turned in for the current faire, you'll have to wait till it's next in town.
Monstrous Egg can be looted anytime - that is to say, the Darkmoon Faire does not have to be currently on in order for you to be able to find these puppies.

What other Darkmoon Faire drops are there?

Fallen Adventurer's Journal -> = 5 x Darkmoon Prize Tickets
Banner of the Fallen -> = 5 x Darkmoon Prize Tickets
Captured Insignia -> = 5 x Darkmoon Prize Tickets
Imbued Crystal -> = 10 x Darkmoon Prize Tickets
Mysterious Grimoire -> = 10 x Darkmoon Prize Tickets
Ornate Weapon -> = 10 x Darkmoon Prize Tickets
Soothsayer's Runes -> = 10 x Darkmoon Prize Tickets
A Treatise on Strategy -> = 15 x Darkmoon Prize Tickets

Will frequently amend and extend this post as users request it or as I learn more.

Dropped off King Dread and Cyangiosa tonight, so I figure it's from, as Maximilian of Northshire would put it, "DRAGONS!"

Commento di 867101

This is also a quite good way to make gold with your low level chars.
Just go farm it and sell it for around 1k with 100 % drop chance in Sethek halls... Confirmed by me on sylvanas-EU... Sold around 5 yesterday for 1.2k each !

Commento di Ringkeeper

Egg dropped on my Level 85 in LBRS from the Spider Boss wich also drops the Spider Pet. Shouldnt the Artefakt drop only in Dungeon wich give you Exp ?

Commento di Pulsed

Aeonus Confirmed drops this from Black Morass (normal mode)

Did 3 runs (on heroic, 3 diff chars) today.. 0 Drops. So it is not 100%

I got this off of Princess Therazane in Mara on my level 40 hunter. Pretty sweet drop for a level 40. They sell on my server for about 2k gold. Woot.

Commento di Seprest

Got one twice in a row off Ghaz'an in underbog.

Commento di 896620

Got the egg of Gahz'rilla in Zul'Farrak first try today. So yes it is still dropping from him. I am level 85.

Commento di crs91

While farming random non-heroics for exp on my lvl 80 druid. I saw 2 monstrous egg drops from King Dred in Drak'Tharon Keep, out of 4 runs. Also saw one from Keristrasza, the last boss in The Nexus. So it would seem the egg drops from monstrous animal bosses. makes sense.. : )

Also they sell pretty well i sold my extras very quickly for 1k .

Commento di 921541

Drops from Harbinger Skyriss in The Arcatraz , on heroic at least.

Commento di thranlynn

Just got 4 eggs from 5 runs of Hellfire Ramparts from the chest after the last boss pair. I actually didn't loot the chest the first time so it might've been 100% because we had group loot turned off.

edit- I have since done this many more times and definitely is not 100%, however it may still be the fastest way to snag a chance at the egg.

Commento di ramirezcj13

Just had a chance to roll on this item in "End Time" off of last boss Murozond...

Commento di Zapph

As of the second Darkmoon Faire (Jan 1st), we are unable to farm the Darkmoon Dungeon quest items from low level instances so as a level 85, with this change/bugfix in mind, here's a compiled list of all the info you need to know for level 85 characters; if you are lower than level 85, other instances may be a better choice for you and more information may be found in other comments.

Firstly, to get any of these items to drop, you will need the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide obtained from the introductory quest "The Darkmoon Faire" H A which is located in Orgrimmar and Stormwind, respectively, or pick it up from Selina Dourman, who stands at the left-side of the entrance to Darkmoon Faire. You can only get the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide during the Faire but all the quest items can always drop, regardless of the Faire being on or not. The drop chance is quite low, roughly 15% and everyone who has the guide will be able to roll greed but not need.

Secondly, all of the items are BoE so can be traded with other players if you can't manage to pick up every item before the Faire ends or want to pocket some cash/give to a friend (These can be thrown in gift wrapping). Incidentally, all of the quest items can be handed in once per month (they're consumed when you hand it in), so you might want to stock these up if you're having lucky drops - sometimes you can get really unlucky and not get anything for a while!

Most importantly, the rewards: You can either sell them for a fair amount of gold to another player as these are quite desirable or hand them in for 250 DMF rep, some gold and varying amounts of tickets.Imbued Crystal,Monstrous Egg,Mysterious Grimoire and Ornate Weapon give 10 tickets each, and can drop from any dungeon level 76-85 (for level 85s). A Treatise on Strategy gives 15 tickets but only drops from level 85 heroics. Together, these 5 give you Darkmoon Dungeoneer. Captured Insignia, Banner of the Fallen and Fallen Adventurer's Journal give 5 tickets each and are obtained from looting the insignias of enemies in Battlegrounds. Together, these three give Darkmoon Defender. Soothsayer's Runes gives 10 tickets and drops from certain level 85 raid bosses. All together, these give Darkmoon Despoiler, 2250 DMF rep and 80 tickets.

I have just killed
Gahz'rilla - Zul'Farrak and Nerub'enkan - Stratholme (service entrance)
10 times each, with out a drop.

Do i have the right to feel unlucky, or are thee some changes ?

Commento di 163020

Most of this information is now outdated. Official word is Monstrous Egg, Mysterious Grimoire, Imbued Crystal, and Ornate Weapon, do not drop for high level characters anymore.

1. This was a bug that is being hotfixed. A character that is not level-appropriate for a dungeon should not get Monstrous Egg, Mysterious Grimoire, Imbued Crystal, or Ornate Weapon drops. This is irrespective of whether or not the character has a Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide in her bags.

2. & 3. We previously had an issue where Grisly Trophy was only going to the player who recorded the killing blow. They are now distributed randomly. Furthermore, there were previously cases where all of the artifacts listed above could be rolled Need. That has been hotfixed and they are all now flagged Greed-only.

4. Regarding drop rates, these items are dropping as-intended. They are rare, and the quests and achievements that depend on them are intended to take some time to complete. They're comparable to the Darkmoon decks and cards. We made them tradeable, so that players who experience a run of bad luck can still acquire what they're after by trading with friends or buying them on the auction house.

thumbs up if u were hoping for a mount

Commento di Shaftx

You can no longer farm these Darkmoon Faire items in very low level dungeons if you are level 85, Monstrous Egg included.

One is still capable of farming for an Egg solo at level 85, however. I was able to solo Lady Naz'jar, the first boss of Throne of the Tides, as a Fury Warrior (397 equiped ilevel) with great ease. This was on NORMAL MODE. I blew all my offensive cooldowns on her right away, and when her 3 ads spawn, I was able to victory rush off them to heal to full.

I got 2 eggs out of 3 kills. Not a great sample pool, but yeah.

I will try to discover other soloable bosses. Seems like if it drops from this boss at normal mode to a level 85, the other cataclysm bosses should drop them, as long as they're soloable...

Also, I heard a rumor from a guildmate that you can go to lower level instances and you can get these items to drop if you have a person in your party at the instance's appropriate level and the darkmoon dungeon guide. I have no confirmed, however.

Commento di stuffeh

Updated for mop and it looks like there are no drops in . According to the wowhead, A Treatise on Strategy drops in heroic mode, and the other items drop in normal modes off the respective boss. I.e.: Ornate Weapon drops in normal and not heroic.

I've compiled a easy to see table of where each item for Darkmoon Dungeoneer can be found to get the most bang for your regular/heroic dungeon queues since Blizzard "fixed" the drops so that Darkmoon Faire monthly quest items can only be looted in level appropriate dungeons. This is ordered in alphabetical order, with the instances that drops the most items for DMF items towards the top.

Notes:
I'm keeping the level 80 and 85 data for people who have not upgraded from the Battlechest and Cata to MoP.
If you find that a boss drops something not listed here. Leave a reply and I'll add it in, eventually.

Just got this item in "End Time" off of last boss Murozond.

Commento di 973531

While these items do not drop for players of inappropriate level anymore, they easily can be farmed with low level friend you can trust. Just quickly kill everything for him and let him loot bosses. Darkmoon items will drop from bosses now and while you can't loot them, your friend can! Since these items are BOE, he can just give them to you after looting.
