Description
Gulf whallabeast (type)– this is just one of many whale-like predatory starruses in the open ocean. While most pick on animals smaller than themselves, the gulf whallabeast goes after zeppelins, the giant filter feeders of Ilion’s oceans, on its way to the breeding grounds on the terminator. The female cannot swim fast enough to hunt for herself, as she is burdened by a heavily modified pair of tusks that extends over the reproductive organs to protect her two developing young. An entourage of suitors cares for her every need. Each sticks around hoping that at least one of the twins is of his seed, but he will not find out until the female releases the calves into the open water. If he was unsuccessful, he is faced with a choice. Should he hope for better luck next time, or try his luck with a new mate? Should he join the bachelor pod that is heading out now, or wait for the new calf to grow up and join her in exile?
