Viviparity

Line 8:

===[[Canid (Galaxa)|Canid]]===

Offspring of Canids are born highly immature. They are blind, their limbs lack coordination, and their primary survival mechanism is the instinct to suckle. It takes several weeks for Canid pups to gain sufficient motor control and sensory function to interact with their environment independently.

===[[~~Valorèin~~]]===

===[[Valorêin]]===

The [[~~Valorèin~~]] species are born slightly more advanced than Canids. Neonates are wide-eyed and capable of limited movement, such as rolling over. However, they lack the strength to hold up their heads or perform precise actions for the first ten days. Dexterity and locomotion develop slowly over the first month.

===[[Lekaran]]===

Unlike the ~~Valorèin~~, the [[Lekaran]] are born highly mobile. Neonates can crawl and swim almost immediately, utilizing their strong hind limbs for propulsion. However, their arms are relatively weak at birth, and their iconic adult tentacles lack tactile control, requiring months to fully develop.

===[[Grelian]]===

[[Grelian|Grelians]] are born robust and highly self-sufficient. Standing at 2–3 feet tall even as neonates, they possess limited mechanical dexterity almost immediately after birth, enabling them to manipulate simple objects and seek nourishment on their own.

Line 26:

The level of dependency and cognitive function at birth is heavily influenced by a species' evolutionary history. Sentient species are frequently born immature relative to their adult forms, as this allows for extended periods of learning and social integration within their communities.

*'''Helpless Neonates''': Species like [[Canid]]s and [[Felid]]s require significant parental care, as their motor skills and senses are underdeveloped.

*'''Adaptive Neonates''': [[~~Valorèin~~]] and [[Lekaran]] offspring exhibit intermediate development, balancing dependency with immediate mobility or sensory awareness.

*'''Independent Neonates''': [[Grelian]] and certain aquatic species are born highly functional, equipped to survive without intensive parental intervention.

==Trivia==

*Live-birth in [[Aenorian]]s involves a unique energy transfer ritual, ensuring the activation of their photonic systems.

*[[~~Valorèin~~]] offspring are born with psionic connections that only extend to their mother, and to the father if he is physically close during the early developmental stages. These connections strengthen and expand over time as the child's brain matures.

*[[~~Valorèin~~]]'s long, pointed ears are adorably floppy at birth and only stiffen as they mature, a detail cherished by parents across their species.
