An egg-shaped clamshell casing meant to hold a living creature, repurposed by Carl as a bomb shell.
Carl kept a large, egg-shaped, clamshell-like casing from the previous floor — a type of live ammo ball designed to hold and protect a living creature inside, but broken and no longer usable for that purpose. He filled it with explosives and several blocks of Nitro Sludge and welded it shut, turning it into Just Wait Until Your Daddy Gets Home, a five-foot bomb too heavy to carry that had to be mounted on a cart.
A large egg-shaped clamshell shell about five feet tall, cracked beyond its original use and now welded permanently closed.
The salvaged shell that gave Carl's largest bomb its body.
Also appears in books you've already read — spoiler-safe to their endings:
