Mystery Pods are, as one may tell from their name, one of the most mysterious objects in the Beanworld. Introduced in issue #2 of Tales of the Beanworld, they are actually insect eggs laid by Der Kveen after she invaded from Der Stinkle. Presumably they will hatch at some time in the future. The consequences of this hatching are unknown, but Larry Marder hinted in a letters column that the results could be dire.
