− | :* '' | + | :* ''gestation'': The number of days that the eggs remain inside the parent before being laid to complete the remainder of their gestation time from the OFFSPRING tag. |
− | : The | + | : The creature does not produce live offspring (as a mammal does), but rather lays eggs a short while after impregnation. Once laid, these eggs grow and hatch without the mother's intervention, although depending on the climate they may need to be kept warm or cool in some fashion. Further tags may be needed to represent the species' nesting behaviour (e.g., turtles burying their eggs, birds sitting on their eggs, etc.). |
− | + | '''''[EXTERNAL_FERTILIZE]''''' | |
− | + | : A modifier tag for OVIPAROUS, this indicates that the creature lays eggs without having sexual intercourse; the male of the species fertilises the eggs externally (such as in the case of a spawning salmon) at or before the ''gestation'' time of the OVIPAROUS tag. If the eggs are not fertilised before the ''gestation'' given in OVIPAROUS, they shrivel or rot (depending on whether they are soft eggs or hard eggs). | |

− | :* '' | + | :* ''armour'': The natural DAMBLOCK rating of the eggs produced by this creature. |
− | |||
− | : | + | : The eggs of this creature are hard-shelled as opposed to soft-shelled. |
− | + | '''''[EGGEXTRACT_*]''''' | |
− | + | : The eggs of the creature can be prepared as an extract or consumed directly to be used as an extract of the appropriate type. For instance, [EGGEXTRACT_PARALYZE] would cause paralysis in any species that consumed the egg, and the eggs could also be crushed and applied to arrows to allow them to be used as paralysis arrows. | |
− | + | '''''[EGG_SPECHEAT]''''' | |
− | + | '''''[EGG_LAYERING]''''' | |
− | + | '''''[EGG_BOILING_POINT]''''' | |
+ | '''''etc.''''' | ||
− | : | + | : The temperature flags as they apply to the eggs. Note that once the eggs die, they do not develop further, but depending on circumstance they might not rot (e.g., if collected as food and stored in a food stockpile). |
− | + | '''''[OVIPOSITOR]''''' | |
− | : | + | : The species injects its eggs into the eggs' nest (whether that "nest" is a womb, its partner, or an unwilling host), effectively meaning that the female impregnates the male instead of vice-versa. This applies only to seahorses in the case of non-PARASITE_EGG and non-SAPOTROPH_EGG reproduction and is thus not a very critical feature. |
− | + | '''''[PARASITE_EGG]''''' | |
− | : | + | : The species lays its eggs inside the living body of another creature, which carries the eggs to term. The eggs then hatch and the baby attacks the other creature from the inside in order to get out. Contrary to what you might expect, this isn't meant to imply the ''Alien'' style of breeding, but rather the form of breeding exhibited by some forms of wasps. Imagine the horror of being stung by a giant wasp with a paralytic stinger, who then injects her eggs into your body until they hatch and eat their way out! Implies OVIPOSITOR. |
− | + | '''''[SAPOTROPH_EGG]''''' | |
− | : | + | : The species lays its eggs inside the corpse of another creature, which carries the eggs to term. The eggs then hatch and the baby emerges from the corpse. Implies OVIPOSITOR. |
− | + | '''''[PREGNANT_PERMANENT]''''' | |
− | : | + | : Once impregnated by a given other creature, the creature is thereafter permanently impregnated by that creature and will continuously produce offspring from that genetic material after each successive delivery. If another partner impregnates it, it will then continously produce offspring from its new partner (the new partner having effectively replaced the genetic material from the first partner with its own). Unless genetic traits from specific parents are introduced, the new partner must be of a different creature type for this replacement to have any effect. |
− | |||
− | : This | + | : This method of reproduction is most often seen in queen ants and queen bees of the insect order of hymenoptera. The queen maintains as much of her mate's DNA as required to fertilize her own offspring once the male has impregnated her during her mating flight. |
− | + | '''''[INVOLUNTARY_EGGS]''''' | |
− | : | + | : If an OVIPAROUS creature has this tag, it is not allowed to choose whether or not to lay eggs; it must lay eggs at every reproductive cycle, even if they are not fertilized. |
− | + | : If the creature lays an egg uselessly, it will receive a bad thought (if it lays an egg usefully, it will receive a good thought). Good living conditions can make up for the bad thoughts from failing to reproduce. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | '''''[ASEXUAL:offspringid:min:max:gestation:weighting]''''' | |
− | + | : The creature reproduces asexually and does not need another creature to fertilise it or otherwise provide genetic material. | |
