Shofizateri

The Shofizateri are a sentient, parasitic race which reproduce via cloning their hosts in a unique biological process.

Primary Statistics
Shofizateri are a Mental-focused race. Their initial racial statistics are:

Physical = 4

Mental = 8

Social = 6

Biology
Shofizateri are a genderless species. They can reproduce with any living creature that they can attach themselves to. A week after they attach to a creature, they enter a gestational period wherein which they shed most of their body mass and begin growing a clone of their host inside themselves. After a month, the gestation cycle completes and the Shofizater may unattach at any time with an infant version of their host. In most cases, both the host and the child imprint positively on the Shofizater as a mate and friend, protecting it until their deaths. This is the sole Shofizateri method of reproduction. Due to this method of cloning, the Shofizateri have no genetic diversity within their species, and are plagued by illness. The Zautiers project that if things continue as they have, the Shofizateri are soon to become a dying race.

Culture
The Shofizateri are a split species, culturally. At a certain point in their race's history, the scientifically advanced tribes divided from the more primal tribes and the whole of Shofizateri culture was cut into two pieces; the Zautiers and the Shofies. Information on each can be found in their seperate articles.
