zims baby thing from the comics
Not so canon in my AU I did for fun
How does Irken reproduction work in your AU?
To be honest with you, I haven't really thought about it until you asked, so now I can sit and actually think about it
I'm heavily inspired by Invincible's viltrumite society and headcanons about their biology when thinking about Irkens, since both species are alien empires that have invaded tons of planets, so if you notice the similarities, that's why!
Long story short, I hc them as hermaphrodites that could have heat seasons, and they once reproduced sexually, but leaned towards cloning as a faster way to grow as an empire and as an opportunity to perfect their species in a controled environment, deeming sex as obsolete and unnecesary. Their heat seasons were seen more as obstacles that blocked their objective as a perfect species, devoided of biological weaknesses that could make them stupidly sensitive, so they started using medications to reduce it's effects to reach an asexual state.
So natural birth of smeets have long been forgotten, but not impossible. First I imagined it like the conventional human like pregnancy, but I had to remind myself that we are talking about a literal alien race, and it could be more weird than that. It's just that I haven't read or seen any headcanon that the fandom might have about Irken reproduction that could feed my brain
I just sat there, thinking. When we find something unknown, we attempt to compare it with something known as a way to explain it, so I could pick an unusual way of reproduction in wild life and expand it into something more "alien"
So after a bit of wondering, I arrived at a form of smeets birth that I've been drawn to for being adorable and a little weird:
Frog like eggs
