Yeah so this thread exists now some actual questions

 

so with us bringing races over and colonizing planets i am assuming repopulation would be a concern then i realized how weird this whole situation is.

 

do salarians and turians and asari lay eggs?

 

salarians are amphibians/reptiles and live short lifespans which means the probably have eggs and salarian at the bar mentions they don't view sexuality the same so im assuming there is no "act" as much as its probably just sprinkling some dna (see euphemism) on some eggs style

 

its noted that a fertile female krogan produces 1000 eggs a year and it can be assumed from wrex that though they may breed traditionally unless gestation is a couple hours they probably lay them elsewhere

 

Turians are birds? insects? poor femshep

 

and asari are ....fish? or something and live 1000 years i mean they obviously control their population but do they have to how long is gestation is their anything stopping an asari from having a couple hundred babies and more importantly WERE THE HELL DOES GESTATION TAKE PLACE. they don't have sex(brain meld) so i kind of assume they don't have those bits is it a brain baby? are those semi rigid hair tentacles ovipositors? wtf 

 

[Malanek]

These are surprisingly important questions.

 

Whether the Krogan that come along have the genophage cured is a massively important factor. 

[Andrew Lucas]

Good question.

Very good, I'll just wait for someone to answer it.

[KaiserShep]

Salarians get it on in a mating pool, and presumably, the female lays a ridiculous amount of eggs that cling together with mucous, and the male will spread his seed over them. 

 

I like to think that turian females inject the males with her eggs, the male fertilizes them internally and then they sprout of him like some sort of macabre seahorse.

 

Kogan probably get it on like turtles, complete with the hilarious squeaking breathing sound. I imagine the females just bury the eggs or something. 

 

 

Asari split in half like amoeba. It's a long and horrifying process.

[Han Shot First]

Asari don't lay eggs.

 

Sadly we know this due to Banshee body horror. Brain bleach, anyone?

 

As far as the evolutionary history of the Asari I'd lean against a recent aquatic origin because they are designed by nature to be land-based persistence hunters. That can be determined by their very close physical similarity to humans.

 

We look the way we do because we evolved to chase down large game on the African savannah, until that prey collapsed from sheer exhaustion. Before the invention of throwing weapons or bows, the only means our ancestors had to catch a meal was by running it down. We tend to think of humans as being weak compared to much of the animal kingdom, because we don't have the muscle mass, fangs, or claws of many of nature's top predators. But that is incorrect...while we may not be as strong as the lion, as fast as the cheetah, or have the bite force of a crocodile, no animal can match humans on land for sheer endurance. We are perfectly designed by nature to run down large prey.

 

A good video on persistence hunting and why we look the way we do:

 

 

Since Asari are physically identical to humans they must have also evolved as land-based persistence hunters.

 

I'd guess he Turians on the other hand, evolved as ambush predators. Their legs seem less well-designed for long distance running, they have a metallic carapace which probably means they don't sweat (sweating allows for better temperature regulation than panting, a good thing to have if you're a runner) and their bulk and claws might indicate that in their ancient past they wrestled down their prey. I'd guess the Turian equivalent of cave men would have hid in thick brush and pounced on their prey, taking it by surprise, and killing it with their own physical strength and claws.

Salarians, yes.

Asari and Turians, no.

Salarians are amphibians. The females lay eggs, and certain males are chosen in a breeding program to fertilize some. The fertilized eggs produce females, the unfertilized eggs produce males.

 

Turians are birds? insects? poor femshep

 Turians are a mix of mammal and avian. When it comes to reproduction, they give birth to live young. You can tell since female turians have breasts. 

 

and asari are ....fish? or something and live 1000 years i mean they obviously control their population but do they have to how long is gestation is their anything stopping an asari from having a couple hundred babies and more importantly WERE THE HELL DOES GESTATION TAKE PLACE. they don't have sex(brain meld) so i kind of assume they don't have those bits is it a brain baby? are those semi rigid hair tentacles ovipositors? wtf 

Asari are primates like us. We meet an Asari who is pregnant, so they operate exactly like human females when it comes to gestation. They have female reproductive organs. Their term for that region is azure.

I would've never know this was a thing since I'd probably never Google "turtle mating sounds". Fascinating.

I love how bored the female turtles and tortoises look.

"mainly the lower regions, near the bottom" hahaha, and what pregnant Asari?

If you get Charr and Ereba together on Illium in ME2, you'll find his dead body during the Rachni mission. It has a message to be delivered to Ereba, and during the message it refers to her being pregnant. 

 

“O Blue Rose of Illium, if these humble words reach you, then I have joined my ancestors.

 

My dream was to be by your side, a weed beside your beauty, twining together in the warm Tuchanka sun.

 

But if my last days must be with krannt instead of kindness, still, I will remember the perfume of your scent and the soft touch of your petals.

 

Let my broken bones build a wall around your garden, so you and the flower we planted together can grow safe and strong.”

[Gold Dragon]

Don't remember a pregnant Asari in any Mass Effect game...

 

But I thought Ereba had already given birth by then...  but I suppose it's possible

It is a poetic reference to their unborn child.

Glad I could help share that with you.

- Salarians lay a large cluster of eggs. Fertilized are female, unfertilized are male. . . or was it the other way around. . .either way, majority are male.
 

- Quarians give birth as humans do.

 

- Asari give birth as humans do.

 

- Drell give birth as humans do. Their children can eat solid food at birth

 

- Krogan females can lay up to 1'000 fertilized eggs a year, if the wiki is to be believed in full. Whether they only lay fertilized eggs I cannot say, but given their method of reproduction I'd guess that eggs are fertilized internally at certain times similarly to humans then they develop internally for a time and then are laid and develop externally. But I'm no Krogan Biologist.

 

- Turians give birth as humans do.
 

- Humans give birth as humans do. . .I think.

 

- Volus are just big gas bags. Fill them up as you go along. (They have a cloaca like Salarians. . .do they lay eggs too. . .?)

 

- Vorcha give live births. . .maybe? Individuals mutate on their own, DNA isn't a worry for them.

 

- Elcor. . .I don't even want to imagine how painstakingly slow and worrisome that would be to walk in on. . .they'd be fine on their own, but once you walk through that door they'd have to talk to you with their usual 'emotes' to be polite and that- that is something I don't want to encounter. . . .but it is implied that the Elcor will die out after the Reaper War, as the amount of elcor saved from their home planet is described (without an emotive prefix. . .imagine how long that would be! ) by the ambassador as 'Not Enough.'.

I don't take that as a statement that the elcor are in such low numbers that extinction is a possibility. Shepard's asking 'did your civilians evacuate in time?' and the response of 'not enough' is in reference to the fact that the elcor ambassador found leaving ANY civilians behind on Dekunna as a failing, even though total evacuation was never an option. But there are references to a handful of elcor colony worlds. The elcor probably aren't on the verge of extinction.

One way or another, they're gonna have to fix their broken as **** krogan reproduction. The Krogan slowly declined for several hundred years, but still had several billion left even with only 1/1000 children surviving. They also live for a thousand years or more. If they really reproduced that fast, they'd fill up an entire galaxy in about 50 years.

You know, this is interesting and all (really)...

 

But I think I just found the "Tali's Sweat" thread of my era, seeing as I wasn't around for that.

I mean, it's somewhat scientific... but also kind of weird.

 

Although I've to admit, Broganisity killed it with adding "I think" after "humans give birth as humans do"

I got a D- in Sex Ed. . .and biology in general. I accidentally romanced Jack in ME2 too, so I think its safe to say I don't know how this works. ;___;

just for the record I spent 30 seconds thinking about this thread topic,and do not wish to go down in bsn history in the same way Talis sweat guy has. dear god please no

Don't worry, I can't even remember anything from my Sex Ex lessons. I'm basing all I know off, errrr, tutorials.

I think I didn't nearly fail them, but that's because, well, they barely existed, stuck in different subjects.

Well, start hoping. This has, uh, potential.
