User:Nunuka/Orc mating rituals

Orcs must be of a certain age in order to mate, at which time they are expected to go forth in search of a partner. Prior to attaining the required age, however, mating is forbidden. The rituals are very violent, not unlike those of Klingons.

When a male wishes to mate with a female, he invites her on a ritualistic hunt. If she accepts, they track and kill clefthoof together and bring it back to the female's family's place of residence where the quality of the kill is judged. It is then eaten raw. The decision lies on the female's father to decided the worthiness of the male by the time the night is up.

The actual mating process involves grabbing the partner by the throat with simulated fighting, including bites, scratches, and the occasional death. This is considered highly romantic, as it fulfills their natural bloodlust.

A normal pregnancy lasts approximately as long as a human one and delivers anywhere from one to thirty babies.
