So, Ula'tek lays viable eggs

Does she have a mate, or is it parthanogenesis or however you spell it?

(Also, I wasn’t forum vacationed. I had to wait to get paid for game time.)

As a real for real biologist I would guess that seeing how many times she killed these “liquid” guys, she probably uses their “liquid” to fertilize her own eggs.

If the snakes that come out of these eggs start randomly talking about how the time delay between NA and EU is irrelevant, you know I’m right.

Hasn’t Kithix been there?

Imagine fighting her mate.

Though since he’d be male, 999 zillion people will take their complaints to GD. :winking_face_with_tongue:

As a bonus just for those people, make him significantly smaller than her so they can rant about sexual dimorphism too.

Honestly, imo, I look at Ula’tek as being similar to Ungoliant.

She herself was born from primal forces. But despite being a deity, she was still a flesh&blood serpent-like creature, so maybe she sought out and bred with other snakes? - even if she didn’t have her own added divinity aiding in the process of reproduction, she would still have a pretty good chance of being biologically compatible with other serpents and serpent-like creatures.

And as far as the “fathers” go, if she truly needs anything from them at all, it’s just for the ingredient. After her offspring are actually gestating, it seems like she can alter and shape them into whatever she wants them to be.

Edit——–

  • I also really like the idea of Kith’ix being the father of all her broods, as someone else commented. I feel like that’s a cohesive theory.
  • Theres also a few other serpent-loa that i can recall. I personally like the idea of interaction between Hakkar & Ula’tek. them having bbs together just adds to the intrigue. But theres also quetz’lun, though she’s a goddess. - (but anything could happen)
  • Think theres also like… a hydra loa? cant remember 100%

She’s a nightmare monster from the Rift of Aln. I don’t think she’s beholden to biological rules.

aren’t males generally speaking somewhat smaller than females in reptiles? I dont think its a 100% thing but i know a lot of species work that way and we’re a bit of an outlier in that males are generally bigger in ours.
