These creatures appear to reproduce asexually through parthenogenesis - a form of growth and development of embryos which does not require fertilization. Egg-laying occurs during a specific laying season (which appear to be between the months of [[Calendar|Quartema and Nonama]], thus lasting about six months). An individual can lay between two and sixteen eggs, which hatch in roughly five weeks. Juvenile slipworms then grow to full maturity in about a year, and have a life expectancy of six to seven years.
They are considered to be pests, and are frequently destroyed on sight by travelers and adventurers. On occasion, slipworm invasions are attempted by small groups (rarely exceeding 20 individuals), but they tend to be quickly repelled by Town Security or locals. If you find a slipworm, you should have no trouble killing it, as it is neither a particularly strong nor difficult to kill creature. Just watch out for its nasty bitebites, and always keep bandages at hand.
