Translations:Codex: Essyras/13/en

Essyra reproduction is fundamentally mammalian, with penetrative sex resulting in pregnancies that last six months. Once young are born, they grow quickly to adulthood over the course of one year. They are helpless for only a few days. This quick rise to adulthood is offset by the very short lifespan of essyras, who rarely live more than 10 years. When two essyran hermaphrodites engage in intercourse, impregnation of both partners is seen as highly undesirable, as the sire is expected to take care of her lover while she is with child.
