 Rixxikor have short lifespans of just ten years and they have extremely high rates of reproduction and are hermaphrodites. They lay a clutch of about 3-5 eggs nearly every hour while they are awake. The eggs are fertilized by any Rixxikor around by a sex organ that sprays a foul-smelling sperm mist. The Rixxikor will spray this mist frequently even when there are no eggs around to mark territory or for emphasis in conversations, making them a nuisance. It takes just one month for a Rixxikor egg to reach the adult stage, and during that month they exist in a sort of sticky maggot form that burrows in the ground or lurks in urban sewers, consuming any organic material it finds. After an additional three months, they will have grown to full height. Rixxikor have short lifespans of just ten years and they have extremely high rates of reproduction and are hermaphrodites.

-If Rixxikor lays about 4 eggs an hour for 8 hours each day, one Rixxikor could birth 720 offspring in 30 days. When those offspring start laying their own eggs, the growth may start becoming exponential. By 60 days, there will be an estimated 252,000 Rixxikor descendants of the original Rixxikor. By day 70, there could be over a million and by day 79, more than ten million. But this assumes a 100% survival rate, which is uncommon because Rixxikor abandon eggs they way that sea life does, just leaving them strewn wherever conditions look "acceptable." This is a species with fairly selfish instincts. They may eat sometimes eat eggs of other Rixxikor (or maybe even their own) when other food options are unavailable. In general, Rixxikor that don't have known offspring want to create lots of offspring, and Rixxikor that do have known offspring get reckless and want to fight people. When a Rixxikor thinks all his kids are probably dead, his instinct is to go back into egg-spamming mode.+If Rixxikor lays about 4 eggs an hour for 8 hours each day, one Rixxikor could birth 720 offspring in 30 days.

 Curiously, a Rixxikor's off-spring seem to inherit much of their parent's language, personality, and most important memories via some kind of genetic memory. Curiously, a Rixxikor's off-spring seem to inherit much of their parent's language, personality, and most important memories via some kind of genetic memory.
