Sexual Trımorphısım
Along with reproductive organs, the hands and feet have been shown to develop differently based on the sex of the Ssarae.MaleThe male reproductive members of the Ssarae have a large, taloned dewclaw near the middle of both the inside and outside of the foot. These dewclaws release a paralytic toxin upon contact.FemaleThe female reproductive members of the species have a singular moderate dewclaw halfway up on the inner side of the foot.
A-SexualThe a-sexual, self-productive members of the species have two small dewclaws about midway up the inside of the foot. -
Femαle Reproductıon
DıscreetFemales present similarly to males in this region, differing in volume and depth; concave design acts as a boon to the reproductive process, serving to cradle the male in position until a lock has been successfully made.Full DısclosureParted vent exposes reproductive morphology of the dual vaginal canal below homologous erectile organ of modest size but intense sensitivity, the neural tissue forming the entirety of this erogenous zone. The urethra is tucked between and partially concealed.LockedFollowing penetration, dual vaginal canals constrict and contract around the male, continuing to do so for the duration of the Lock. Inside these canals is lined with both resilient and spongy flesh, an evolutionarily feature increasing reproductive success by enveloping the hemipenis and engorging around it to fill and catch each spine, hook, and spicule. -
Mαle ReproductıonExact sizes and shapes vary, but the fashion of barbs and spikes remains uniform throughout the species.

SheαthedReproductive organs are always concealed in slotted sheathe when absent stimulation. Testicles are retained internally and are never drawn from the body.ArousαlStrong Kegel muscles contract rapidly for the duration of the courtship, the stimulation designed to entice the female to accept the suitor. Only upon successful alignment of opposing genitalia does the dual-shaft appendage engorge to maximum girth, inevitably locking the two together for hours, leading into two days on occasion.EngorgedBoth shafts extend from a conjoined base, starting with bulbous knots sparsely adorned with short firm barbs. The length and girth vary between male subjects but are always wrapped in several slightly longer spines, hooks, or spicules than the bottom knot. These lead into larger fixtures encircling another sizeable bulb, an upward flare designed to keep the male locked securely to the female. The tapered head also bears shallow nubs designed to amplify female stimulation.

it's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes... Adrenαl Trıgger
The reproductive instincts of The Ssarae are triggered by adrenal responses. They frequently enact displays of power through hours' worth of 'wrestling' or 'Saikaslaṛā'ī' before locking. This is known to lead to casualties in both males and females.
Fertılızαtıon
Females have two vaginal canals with a permeable 'chamber' following either that allows them to retain sperm. They can hold onto sperm from mates for up to 5 years before deciding to become pregnant. Females therefore could receive multiple fathering inseminations that lead to clutches full of 'part-siblings' or Adhēkina.
Lockıng
Male Ssarae have hemipenes that feature 'locking' spines/hooks that,
along with constriction through the use of body and tail, and the female's dual vaginal canal and intense kegel pressure, prevent the female from moving away during mating. A mating pair (m x f ) can remain locked together for upwards of 48 hours.
Pregnancy and Post Natal Care
Females, once they allow the sperm to impregnate them, carry their clutch for 3 months. Clutches range in size from 1 to 6 eggs. Unhealthy eggs, 'Duśaṭātamā' are removed from the clutch immediately after laying. Healthy eggs are nested in nitrogen rich 'mulch' and fur gathered by the female, they are incubated here for an additional 3 months. Nested eggs continue to expand until the end of the gestation and hatch in what the Ssarae call 'Ubhāra'. Following their hatching, infant Ssarae ingest strictly milk from their mother or wetnurse for three months. The following three months the weening Ssarae are transitioned to their primarily meat diet through premastication or 'kiss feeding', three months later they are fed whole game and expected to be able to feed themselves through hunting of small game by a year old. -
