Monsterena offspring share speckles from both parents. When one of the speckles are no longer visible, the remaining color is the first indication the creature reaches maturity.
Genetics and Reproduction
Female monsterena creatures produce one offspring. It is rare for a Monsterena to bear twins. When twins are born, the parents try to determine how many speckles are light or dark blue. The light blue speckled offspring are raised by their fathers. The dark blue speckled offspring are raised by their mothers. If they make a mistake, the offspring are switched at the time of maturity. Then the offspring go their separate ways.
Growth Rate & Stages
Monsterena growth is over by the time the creature is two years old. The speckles continue to grow larger. The exception to their growth pattern is their webbed feet. Male feet grow at a rate of 2 inches per year. Female feet grow at a rate of 4 inches per year. By the time both sexes need sandals, they size of their webbed feet are the same.
Behaviour
Monsterena gender reveal parties are merely celebrations the matter of their gender is agreed by their parents. Throughout the time parents care for their offspring, a fuss is made about light or dark blue outfits, what size shoes to buy for birthdays and whether or not speckles at birth are counted accurately. The matter of affirmation takes about 25 minutes. After the party is over, the offspring go to find abandoned territory and the parents share one pail of treaded water, the family is not likely to see one another again.
