They look like egg Plant.
Do you have a photo of the leaves and flowers? Cross pollination of your flowers will affect the plants grown from the seeds. Hence this is a result of the plant/seed source not providing something that is true to form.
There's a guide on how to link to images from flickr that may be of help.
No, they are not egg plants.
Yeah, they have been in the sun but not drastically so. We have had such a terrible drought this year the plants are just recently setting fruit. The seeds are from my own stock and I'm very careful with them. All I planted this year were Naga and chocolate habs. It's also more than one plant doing this.
Maybe i have a new mutant hybrid strain on my hands! ;-)
It's weird, I have only seen purple like that on ornamental species

WOW those look cool.
You have got to tell us how they taste and keep a few pods of seeds.

The purple is the peppers "suntan lotion". I had pods on every plant show purple. Probable even more significant with drought conditions.
Here's a 7 Pot Barrackpore of mine that had a great purple color. When it ripened it was red like it was supposed to be.
Sorry, nothing new and not a mutant.

+1 on the pod blushing, it seems to always happen pod side facing the sun.

Thank you Meatfreak! You have solved the mystery.
Every time I order woozies to bottle my hot sauce from peppermania.com, Beth, the proprietor, always throws in a packet of exotic chile seeds as a freebie. This year I decided to germinate a few of them while mainly concentrating on Nagas and Chocolate Habs. I thought only a few made it and i had planted them in one corner of the garden (there are a couple other oddball varieties over there). I must have got these mixed up with the Chocolate Habaneros while raising the starter plants and there are more than i thought if them.
Thanks again. I knew I could count on the think tank that is the Hotpepper.com to figure this out.

Your welcome, glad I could help as being a newbie.
