Translations:Codex: Toves/20/en

The mating process may take upwards of several hours, and results in no sexual pleasure for either tove. Gestation of the eggs can take up to 6 months. Over the course of this period, the female tove’s tail swells, often to the size of the rest of her body. As a result, female toves are often water-bound and find landbound mobility too difficult. A female tove’s body often reabsorbs some embryos, breaking them down until she is left with no more than 1-3 eggs. A female lays her clutch of jelly-like eggs underwater, where they must remain undisturbed for several weeks. Toves most often prefer the aid of technology to make sure their eggs are kept safe and secure.
