If Esther is given a genuine githyanki egg, the egg shows up in a portal at the [[Society of Brilliance Lodge]] in the [[Lower City]] in [[Act Three]]. The githyanki is now fully grown, going by the name [[Ptaris]]. He reveals that he was raised by Lady Esther and a dwarf named [[Havkelaag]], who sped up his aging. Ptaris murdered both of them (as well as other Society of Brilliance members such as Omeluum) and becomes aggressive to the party if failed to be convinced that the Ptarian code he was raised by was wrong. Additionally, if the egg is given to Esther, the quest [[Retrieve Omeluum]] does not appear during [[Save the Gondians]].

{{SpoilerBox|custom=details about the Epilogue of ''Baldur's Gate 3''.|
If the egg was not given away and Lae'zel survives into the Epilogue, she will reveal that the egg has hatched.  She names the boy "Xan," "freedom" in the Gith language, and notes that the child will have the chance to choose whatever path in life that calls to them.

If the egg was not given away or left with Lae'zel, the party lodges in the Elfsong Tavern, and leaves the egg in the camp chest, the newspaper clippings will have an article title alluding to the egg hatching and the newborn Gith crawling around the bar.
