Yukkuri Biology/Behavior General

The most important part in that community would be the leader. In way like despot or monarch, the clan members will entrust their survival to a leader who they believe know better about how to keep everyone alive. And since they have entrusted themselves to this leader, the yukkuri need to follow the clan's rule, because they have chosen their leader and relinquished part of their freedom in exchange of safety.

About the hierarchy of priority, true. I'm just addressing the last part. Like in human, there are many reasons for someone to be nice to others. Common reasons being: because it's what's expected by the rules (law, tradition, religion, etc), in expect of favour (building public image, making debts, gathering karma point buy ticket to nirvana), just selfish reason (it made me feel good), or no good reason at all (never thought about it, but that sounds like a nice idea at the time)

IMO, the last two are the most simple and shallow reason that would easily be applicable to yukkuri.

Also we did saw sample of Shitheads not eliminating the last part of making others feel easy. It's just that their megalomaniac mind thought their presence is making others feel easy, but they just don't feel easy with the mere presence of other lesser yukkuri, so they expect others to pay back more.

I have a question : what is the ammount of knowledge of a newborn yukkuri ? And this knowledge in stalk pregnacy is hearned by listening the sounds from the outside or is hearned tanks to genetic memory

From what I've seen, the only consistently ingrained knowledge is the name and accessory attachment. It is extremely rare for a yukkuri to adopt another accessory in place of their original.

They also seem to have an innate knowledge of how their own condition should be.

For instance, vision-sight. Humans that are born blind don't suffer uneasiness due to being blind, because they don't know what sight is. But yukkuris that are born blind experience uneasiness because they innately know that they're SUPPOSED to be able to see.

Short answer:
Whatever you want it to be for a story.

Long answer:
Haven't thought about it much, but I figure what gets transferred, aside from Yukkuri 101 is the parent's mood and strong impressions. So if the environment's high stress or easiness, that gets conveyed and the ko grows/is born in that default "mood." Or if the parent has a strong fear or something, that gets taught too.

Probably transferred mostly through paste, but a stalk ko gets an advantage in having more exposure to the outside, picking up more info that way.

I've heard in a story that yukkuri sanae can only give born to yukkuri kanako and suwako regardless of the partern and that because of that they don't be raped by rapist alices is true ?

I remember one or two comics with that idea, but isn't like an universal concept in the fandom.

Rapist Alices are more like an Elephant in musth state, highly agressive, high resistance to pain, augmented streght.

I remember someone in OYP has a theory that rape mode was some kind of "Primal" mechanist of reproduction, going for huge numbers in high stressing ambients, or in case of emergency, used to replenish the numbers.

But the city is a cruel place to live, so the Alices are exposed to the flags that activates the rape mode everyday.

Now I'm imagining a yukkuri (or human, I guess) mahout directing an Alice to do stuff using its "trunk."

m1 probably drew that already.

I have a question yukkuri have something like nerves ?

All their paste works as nerves, especially pain receptors because that's more enjoyable for abyuse oriented story

Yukkuri's treat are generally just one or two points, linked to fandom stereotype of the Touhou characters.
Rare yukkuri with not much distinctive feature like Sanae usually don't have much. They're usually just described as a more well mannered Reimu, but even that is a feat of many rare yukkuri who hasn't fell down into the ubiquosity pit such as Youmu and Chen.

I was thinking the other day that yukkuris may have something similar to simple nervous system like that seen in sea cucumbers, sea anemone, and slugs.

Do bodied yukkuri require more food than a regular one?

Depends on a couple of things. Kleibers law says an animals metabolic rate goes up as size increases. Warm blooded animals require more food than cold blooded in order to generate internal heat.

Small animals tend to eat more high caloric food as they expend heat and energy quickly. Which could explain yukkuris love of sweets. Given the size of bodied yukkuris they may need the same amount of calories as a small child.

But if your bodied Yukkuri is Suiso sized it could eat less than a normal Yu. And its a lots cutter *-*

(non-haa) bodied yukkuri seems to not shit like (non-haa) Dosu.

Assuming higher efficiency, they probably need less food that normal yukkuri. Normal yukkuri in the other hand eat for both body & soul. Other than energy and replenishing materials, they also need food for comfort to sustain the magical power that sustained their life.

Now another possibilities:
- Yukkuri can actually survive long in cryptobiosis-like state, such as Astron.
- If we go by theory that expelled paste are carrying bad memories (the only bad product of yukkuri's life activity), then we could assume that yukkuri's body is able to maintain freshness of their paste by circulation and magic. If we have an imaginary yukkuri that doesn't feel any bad emotions (such as sleeping Kaguya), we could have a yukkuri who doesn't need to shit and eat because they're always in easyness.
- Yukkuri doesn't generate much heat on their own, at least not in animal's way. Their small heat generation came from friction of their paste circulation. In cold, they can make more heat from rub-rub. Eating only give them comfort to push away thought of suffering, and keep replacing the old paste with new one.

Wait if yukkuri espelle paste to forget something that dosen't mean that a yukkuri lose part of is memory every time it shit (that would esplain the short memory spawn)

Well, isn't supposed than in an human food and sex work in the same areas of the brain.

Now what is something similar is working in a Yukkuri, "Refreshed" memories are written over uneasy events.

So they don't lose vital information when they shit.

As the usual yukkuri, the situation are not consistent depending on the writer.

In such story, yukkuri's physiology seems to be able to sort out "easy" and "uneasy" memories stored in their paste. The easy memories (from both experience and delusion) are kept because it's empowering them. In the other hand the uneasy memories are tucked away, waiting to be expelled as their shit.

Yes, this explains why they have selective short term memories. They quickly forget about uneasy stuffs such as rules and discipline.

But another variation to the story made the memories of high importance (and traumatic memories) stuck into their paste core, the part of their internal that they can't shit out.
Training and memory overwrite should be focused on how to store memories inside the paste core instead of the circulating paste.

===

Now, here's an idea. Would anyone do an experiment to yukkuri using feeding tube ? The procedure are as follow
- Feed them regularly with blank paste to flush their paste. Throw in amount enough to replace their mass and drain the older paste out.
- Keep giving them education. Of course these will be flushed out.

The expectation is that the terror from having their memories flushed out will eventually overcome their system and their paste will start storing the education into their core because uneasy memory is better than no memory.

I think it works much like sensory deprivation

So lets see if i get this in the right way the paste is for bad and uniportant memory and the paste core is a sort of archive for privilegiated (good and important) memory ?
