Biology time (2)! Inkfolk lay eggs, like you would assume. However, unlike most ancient cephalopods, they are iteroparous and don't pass away after mating once! It's quite typical for inkfolk parents to brood their eggs within their crown tentacles, although nowadays this type of protection tends to be unnecessary.

Juvenile inkfolk are quite easily distinguished by their small size and exposed beak, which gets covered up over the years. They also hatch without crown tentacles, but these will begin to grow in within their first year.
