Snaggletooth and Wrathjaw are commons and they still drop as an egg and not a chest.

I wonder why the change?...
The egg is a chest and most eggs are legendary chests. So they are pink in color when you see them in your inventory. There are a few eggs where the chest rarity is epic. For example look at Snowy's Egg in the auction house. It's blue. This is how Spitfire's Egg is. So I can only conclude there is no epic egg chest, if that makes sense.
