hellopie said: I wonder why he got so mad when it stated it wanted to run away, it's only natural for an animal or magical bun to want to try and escape from its predicament. But it is a bit refreshing to know that he didn't kill them instantly like he did with that ko.
Perhaps its because the Marisa is attempting (unsuccessfully) to escape, which, if it were successful, would make his job tougher.
Also, the parent Marisa seems to be a bit of a shithead to me, since it is attempting to escape on its own while its mate and children are nearby and in obvious pain.
Well, with a few incoherant screams of rage, he'll get to stomping. If he can stomp a demonic tentacled zombie baby to death, I think a few shitheads will be easy pickings.
To re-ignite discussion, the figures posted up above are, IMO, too conservative. It assumes that only one baby will be born to any pair once a month.
However,generally we see batches of 3-4, sometimes up to 8 or more from a single pregnancy. In addition, stalk pregnancies are portrayed as taking at minimum, several hours, sometimes a day, and at maximum around a week.
With those figures in mind, suddenly yukkuris could have a much higher chance of survival, as even assuming a 75% cassualty rate among kos, you're still getting, at best at longest pregnancy period, a new yukkuri a week from an active pair.
Assuming ~4 per pair per pregnancy, with a new batch a month, it quickly gets scary.
