Research Project: A study in K'lor'slugs
Name: Apprentice Renzacur
Clearance: Novice
Aim: To further expand and understand the process of K'lor'slug reproduction and mating
Timeframe: One month (02/02/2023-02/03/2023)
Outcome:
A viable K'lor'slug Queen has a short incubation period and can lay more than 300 eggs in a single birthing period. Their only requirement for hatching is darkness, beyond that they have been known to nest in caves as well as space vehicles causing infestations aboard that become harder to control and more fatal if left unchecked.
Once hatched, K'lor'slug younglings are aggressive, ravenous for food, and do not possess venomous spit.
The size of a K'lor'slug Queen is limited only to the size of her nest. If allowed to exist within a large cave, the K'lor'slug Queen will continue to grow until she can no longer live comfortable within her den.
Additional anecdote:
"A century ago, a notorious hunter named Riegenn Hetuu was contracted to bring a live k'lor'slug queen to an eccentric Hutt for a gala celebration. The beast was meant to be a highlight in the Hutt's annual gladiatorial tournament, but when Riegenn arrived on Hutta and opened his cargo bay, some four hundred k'lor'slugs poured out, consuming the hunter as well as the Hutt. To this day, the sound made when a batch of k'lor'slugs hatch is called 'a Hutt's cry'."
