[QUOTE="QuietBrowser, post: 6937247, member: 6855057"] I thought the gazetteer already mentioned the "New Agers" in general and the inferral that they are generally the ones who accept the pseudo-bosoms was kind of obvious... but, from what you folks are telling me, that's definitely one of the steps that I'll take when I get enough details together to rewrite the gazetteer. The gazetteer actually does state that before the Black Dawn, dragons in this setting were hermaphrodites, which contributed to their being solo predators. I maybe should find some way to make it more prominent... Secondaries? Sure there are. Secondary "carriers" are called "Males" and secondary "fertilizers" are called "Females". Sorry, I wasn't sure if you were asking if there were secondaries or not. Anyway, as I explained in more graphic detail a page back, all kobolds have a uterus with ovaries, and a penis with (internal) testes. The difference in "genders" is which set of organs is given more predominance in their anatomy. Females can still impregnate, males can still fall pregnant, it's just they are, as you ask, not quite as effective at the other role. So, if you stranded two or more "male" kobolds on an island, they would found a thriving colony; somewhat slower compared to if you'd stranded a "male" and a "female", but as both can simultaneously impregnate their partner and carry eggs to term, the colony would grow fairly quickly. It would get rather inbred if it started from just two and no new kobolds came along, though. Incidentally, yes, even a "male/female" coupling between kobolds can lead to both parties falling pregnant if they so desire. Kobolds aren't going to go extinct any time soon, even with all the odds stacked against them. Ah, very good suggestions! Thank you so very much; that's definitely something I can work on improving in the kobold psychology section of the gazetteer. Oooh! I seriously hadn't thought of an idea like that - they'd probably have different "versions" between different tribes but, seriously, that's a great idea! [/QUOTE]
