Reproduction: Sexual, Eggs laid among Violet Reeferns

As North Datura Temperate Coast rebounds quickly, most of the world has been slower to recover from the end-Prevailnoffian mass extinction. However, as life continued to proliferate across the east coast of Datura, the coast began to attract species from the north temperate coast and the open ocean. The Glowvisus arrived from the open ocean and evolved into the Pascovisus. Named after their new feeding method- grazing- the Pascovisus feeds on the tropical sea's vast meadows of violet Reefern. Males are highly territorial, threatening other males that wander into their territory with their bioluminescent lights. If the opposing male does not stand down, the defending male will attack the intruder. On the other hand, males tolerate females that enter its territory. Because of their relatively large size and plentiful numbers, they have attracted the Nautalltho to the tropical sea. Because of these predators, the Pascovisus is purple and covered in stripes. Combined with their semi-benthic nature, they are able to blend in and hide among the patches and meadows of Violet Reefern. Like most bioluminescent Groupodispians, the Pascovisus is capable of switching its lights on and off- as leaving them on would attract predators. Because conditions are favorable all year in the tropical sea, males will mate regularly- making use of the visiting females. Females will lay their eggs among the patches of violet Reefern- providing their young with food. Because they cannot tolerate the colder waters of the temperate coasts around the sea, they cannot spread further than the tropics.
