===Reproduction:===
<blockquote>
Hilinara organisms cannot reproduce on their own: they require a suitable host to incubate their eggs until the female deems them suitably developed to be laid. Gestation times vary between female types but it is known that most of the females already have eggs waiting to be laid within the host when a male comes along. In order to be fertilized, a female hilinara parasite needs to be inseminated by a male through the constant insertion of the male’s phallic body into one of the female’s orifices. This process goes on until the male is stimulated enough to ejaculate his spermatozoa into the awaiting body of the female, whereupon she will, through the use of her remaining tendrils, cover every egg she has in the deposited seminal fluids. After approximately an hour of soaking her eggs in the sperm, the female lays the eggs into the intestines of the carrier. It is here that they will gestate and grow in size until ready to be laid, often bulging a host's body to the point of looking pregnant. An unwilling host will often feel discomfort at this act, as they may not want any phallic objects in their anus, let alone the parasite they are carrying. However, this will only happen if the host is subdued by the larger body of the male earlier on, so most hosts are safe from this happening to them in civilized or well travelled areas.
