“Eggs” can refer to a few different characters, but the one most people mean when they ask “who is Eggs’ dad?” is from The Boxtrolls : his dad is Herbert Trubshaw.

Quick Scoop: Who is Eggs’ Dad?

Main answer (most likely meaning)

In the animated film The Boxtrolls , Eggs Trubshaw is a human boy raised by boxtrolls underground in the city of Cheesebridge. His biological father is Herbert Trubshaw , an eccentric inventor who befriends the boxtrolls and treats them as fellow creators instead of monsters.

Eggs is also shown with a kind of “dad figure” among the boxtrolls, the boxtroll called Fish , who acts as his gentle, protective foster parent. So you can think of it as:

  • Biological dad: Herbert Trubshaw.
  • Adoptive/foster dad: Fish the Boxtroll.

Other meanings people sometimes mean by “Egg/Eggs”

Because you wrote this like a trending/forum-style query, here are a couple of other “Egg” characters people ask about:

  • Aegon “Egg” Targaryen (Game of Thrones/Dunk & Egg)
    When fans ask “who is Egg’s dad” in that context, the answer is Prince Maekar Targaryen. Egg is actually Aegon V Targaryen , youngest son of Maekar, who later becomes king.
  • Eggs in True Blood or other shows
    In True Blood , “Eggs” is a nickname for a character, but his parentage isn’t a big fandom mystery the way it is in Boxtrolls or Dunk and Egg discussions.

Forum-style recap

If your question is about The Boxtrolls (which is the most common “Eggs” with a mystery dad):
