magic made physical, when they shed some magic during the fight, during the time of the event it's strong enough to manifest as what we know as currency

they're on their way to see joxar to buy things before they get clapped

I think it's just a surplus of materials that are very abundant during festivals so when dragons go battling in the Coliseum, they come back with loot, including the stuff they found along the way. That's why there are additional drops. No enemy drops an egg, only in technical terms.

The currency is divine magic incarnate, which makes them pleasing in a similar way as shiny things are. Thus monsters like to pick them up.

actual headcanon: the currency items begin to appear spontaneously around the time of the festival, and critters that are elementally-aligned are magnetically attracted to them. by carrying (or eating) these items, they increase the power of their elemental alignment, making them stronger, faster, [s]and harder to eliminate with one hit[/s]. oh and unaligned critters can pick them up and use them as currency to bribe aligned critters, but critters that are aligned with other elements can't safely handle the items at all. my favorite answer anyway: [quote name="Metalhead" date="2021-02-23 07:59:00" ] Marva tapes pinecones to monsters [/quote]
