Serpent Egg is a common neutral minion card, from the Saviors of Uldum set.

Strategy
Another egg card that summons a high-statted minion for its cost if used with Deathrattle activators or Attack buffs. Zoo Warlock can also make use of this card as fodder for effects like EVIL Genius. Compared to Scarab Egg, the Sea Serpent summoned by this card is less vulnerable to area-of-effect damage, but the single body is less appealing for token decks compared to three 1/1 Scarabs.

In Wild format, this card is almost strictly worse than Nerubian Egg, and is less efficient than Devilsaur Egg.
