More from Ulario
If you can't read the text, just go to the image on my dA page and click "download" - http://ulario.deviantart.com/art/Ot.....heet-274130625
One of the races in the Azure Wheel universe. While they played a big part in recent history of the AW universe, they're not a big part of the Intrepid comic. One of the side characters is an 'oth, however.
Said 'oth character is a giant douchebag, but that's besides the point.
Reproduction - Not mentioned on the sheet since I didn't have room...
Othoth will choose lifemates or partners and tend to remain loyal to their partner for life, but there are divorce rates.
Their reproduction is very similar to that of earth frogs. To reproduce, an Othoth couple requires a body of water (freshwater is by far preferred but salt water will work in a pinch), the female will lay her eggs where they will be fertilized by the male. Females will lay about 5-10 eggs at a time.
Othoth eggs are a favorite of predators and are vunerable to a variety of diseases or simply do not develop, so on average only one or two of the eggs will survive and hatch. In the past, the Othoth did not try to increase their eggs' chance of survival because they didn't want their species to become overpopulated, but now since their numbers have decreased greatly since the war they are trying to allow more eggs to survive.
The creature that emerges from the hatched egg is very much like a tadpole. It is at this point where the parents will put the infant in a tank or small pond to watch over them.
Over the next year, the infant othoth will start developing different features.
They will grow legs and arms.
Their gills will dissapear and they will develop a more complex respitory system.
Formation of the skin and development of skin glands and nervous system.
The digestive system will become more complex and they will become able to eat meat and plant matter (newly hatched othoth tadpoles can only eat algae).
After the baby Othoth is fully developed, they behave, grow and mature much like a human child.
