DITL Species 4- SEX Reproduction SEX

Post by Monroe »

Week One we decided it is a Fungal creature
Week Two we decided that it would live off decay and consumption
Week three we decided it would use ganglion- brains spread throughout its body in clusters.

Week Four we discuss how the creature reproduces. Because of the choice for week three the creature cannot reproduce by being split apart. However there are several options open still:

Asexual
Sexual with two parties
Sexual with three parties (A digestion sex)
Asexual and / or Sexual with Two parties
Fertilizing eggs similar to a fish
Mitosis (Would go into a cocoon before splitting)
Spores- an Asexual method
Parasitical after Sexual
Parasitical after Asexual
Spores inhaled by host then parasitical

How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

I picked spores leading to a parasite. The problem with an asexual creature is genetic diseases don't get weeded out by natural selection. But on the other hand you can reproduce faster.

I considered that but I wasn't sure if that would lead to the Xenomorph silliness with one host=one offspring.

Spores.

If you're worried about the whole weed-out thing then just have it where the spores can mix which means that a being could have as many parents as there are possible parents within range. That would be the ultimate genetic pool.

A lot of people didn't like it; I thought it was cool, and the alien interactions were awesome.

There was a fungal race in Star Control 2. The My-something. They burn their host planet to pieces when they hatch :D

The Mycon. :)

Though, they're really silicon-based; they only resemble fungus. :wink:

Ah gotcha.

So far I'm kind of disappointed there hasn't been any huge debates in this series :P First week we kind of had one but not since.
