AGING AND GROWTH
Ra'thazi'i live an exponentially long time. Ra'thazi'i grow throughout their lifetime until their death. Ra'thazi'i grow more powerful, physically and magically, as well as more virile as they age. Older Ra'thazi'i are formidable beasts, and will only begin experiencing the effects of old age in the very twilight of their years. The most common symptom of old age as it manifests is moderate to severe degenerative memory problems.
- Crysalla ovulate once every 1 Sialla year, and the gestation period is 1 year.
- Crysalla will shed once every Sialla month. *Note: One Sialla month is 5 Earth-years.

*Note: One Sialla orbital year takes 50 Earth-years.

- Ra'thazi'i age/100/2.5 = human equivalent (Ex. 10,000/100/2.5= 40 human years).
growth
- Ra'thazi'i’s maximum height in bipedal form is 12’, and maximum height in draconian form at the shoulder is 30’. These Ra'thazi'i live to 25,000 years of age.
YOUNG
Ra'thazi'i babies hatch from an egg, kept cradled in their birth parent's home. Ra’thazi’i cherish their children dearly, and keep them close, as they carry on their family names.
- Ra'thazi'i babies are fat, squishy, and defenseless. They are naked, crystalless, and have only their soul stone on their bodies. They hatch in their draconian form.
- The Ra’thazi’i differ from their modern counterparts in that they raise their children. A Ra’thazi’i may live as a single parent or with a romantic partner.
- Ra’thazi’i are hatched without any filaments, horns, or dermal growths other than scales. They grow in gradually after hatching, if at all.
- Ra’thazi’i babies are roughly the size of a small dog upon hatching, and easy prey for predators.
