Brood Father
Basic Information
Anatomy
Humanoid, but with snakelike necks and cold almost reptilian skin.
Genetics and Reproduction
Brood Fathers will attack and attempt to bite humanoid females of any race except Dragon. Their venom is a paralysis inducing aphrodisiac with hallucinogenic properties. Once the female is rendered docile, the Brood Father will attempt to find a rift that can be used to reach the Lonesome Cove. If no rift is forthcoming after about a week of searching, the Brood Father will find a deep cave or other dark and wet place where it will impregnate its captive. A Brood Father will exploit a single captive until her death.
Growth Rate & Stages
Brood Fathers mature the most slowly of their species, taking a full six months to reach maturity.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Brood Fathers are omnivorous and do not need much to survive, instead they will hunt and gather to keep their captive healthy.
Biological Cycle
Brood Fathers will spend less time hunting during the winter and more time with their captive. Brood Fathers without a captive will not be affected by the changing seasons.
