The races listed are native to Thar and none of them can interbreed with any other. They might be physically compatible enough to have sex, but no offspring can result from it. Also, no race is evil or good. Evil or good is the choice of each individual.

Males sense a female in season and become short tempered and highly aggressive with one another until she's bred. Females make the choice, not the males. Tharian males are very careful not to injure or frighten a female during breeding. They want to be consider for future breeding.

A mountainer female chooses her match for life at around 40. The unmatched males compete in a number of physical contests and trials in an attempt to win her favor, even to the inspection of their genitals by her. A mountainer female only goes into season once every 5 years.

Woodling mates are chosen for them when they're children, then on reaching adulthood they're joined. The ceremony is the joining of 1 male to 3 females for life. They will mate with no others during their lives, and if the male dies, the females will not take another as a mate. They will continue to raise his offspring until they are grown. If they have not broken any of the ancient traditions, and if they wish it, the family they had before being joined will take them back into their household. Most do not go back, but continue in the community as they are or go out into the world.

After their first month, all grounder young are kept in brood caves deep underground and looked after by older, infertile females. Female births outnumber male births almost 20 to 1. Making grounder females highly aggressive during these times. Understandably, after being released from the brood cave, grounder males usually take to hiding as much as possible. Even too much of a good thing can be too much. Grounder females are so aggressive during their breeding cycle some have even been said to have attacked males of other species just for some relief from their raging hormones.

If they mate outside the group without permission, the dominants will kill them. Females come into season in the colder months, and males will fight fiercely to win the chance to mate. During the warmer months, the young are ejected from the mother's body, then swim for the cover of any nearby water plant groves. Trying to reach cover before any males of another group discover and kill them. The average female
gives birth to 6 to 12 tads. They're born very savage and competition is fierce among them, usually only 1 survives to adulthood and rejoin their group. Until then, they're on their own. Waterlings do not watch over their young as some other specie.

Gor females breed once every two years. Pregnancy is a 18 month process for them and produces a single young. The young gor stays with it's mother for a week, then is left with the other young of the clan. In gor clans females are raised by a dominant female and males by a dominant male. To run the clan and raise the young are their only jobs. The rest of the clan sees to all their other needs. All gor who reach adulthood are sexually active all year, but only if the female is in season will offspring result. Gors are known for their insatiable appetites, and if unable to find another Gor to sate their wants, have been known to grab any physically compatible being nearby and have at them. Gors are not monogamous. They're a far cry from it. It's rumored a gor male can maintain for up to a week. It's no wonder the females of gor clans have learned to take rest where and when it's possible.

Hunchers are a quiet, docile race and no one is quite sure how or when they breed. It's never been witnessed, but if they didn't reproduce in some way, they wouldn't exist. There is much mystery surrounding this species and it's way, but to study something, one must be able to find it first, and hunchers are very good at not being seen.

Gobs are much like many small forest creatures. They breed year round. A male will keep many females in his stable. He will visit each one in her burrow or cave on a regular basis, and when she gives birth to offspring, will even help care for them. Their paternal nature is surprising, considering how flighty they are most of the time.

Terots mate for life. A male builds a nest high off the ground with other males to create a community area. The nest resembles a large gourd attached to a strong branch, or a protected rock cropping, with a leafy flap for a door. He lines the inside with thick, green, dry mosses and grasses to help keep it warm and dry inside for him, a mate, and any offspring. Terots reach sexually maturity around 5 years. From that time on the males spend all their time trying to gain a mate, until they have one. Once a mate is secured, the male spends a great deal of time enjoying and caring for her, whether she's in season or not. Male terots are also violently protective during mating season. It's the home they've built that wins them a mate. A threatened terot will not fight, but will flee, unless protecting a mate or offspring.
