540 M · ONTOGENY

Growth

Hatch to adult is 4.0 h — 6 in-game days on North Point's clock, where one day is 40 real minutes. Parental dependency is not counted as growth — an animal that survived alone skipped part of its species' life, and the ontogeny term is what notices.

705 M · SOCIAL SYSTEM

Social system Matriarchal Herd

A defensive herd formed around a dominant female. The herd faces outward and the young stay at the centre; the matriarch decides where it moves and when it stands.

Roles in the group

Matriarch The old female at the herd's core; the group forms and defends around her.

Defender Adults on the herd's edge, facing the threat so the centre is safe.

Bachelor A young or unpaired male, held at the margin or ranging in a separate band.

Calf Kept at the herd's protected centre; the reason the wall of adults exists.

What it creates

The herd's strength is its formation — broken up, it is just frightened animals.
The matriarch is a real leadership role others follow.
Bachelors cycle between the herd's edge and bachelor bands.

✦ You are a wall around your young, and the wall has a leader.
