These things are weird… I met a pair of them at Kerick Institute of Extra-planar Study on Oleroth, each in their own tank lest they try to devour each other. Each called itself Iughrioth (also using the name as a descriptor for their kind), and claimed that “Iughrioth fight until only one Iughrioth remains”, at which point the last one gorges itself until it literally explodes into a bunch of little iughrioth, starting the process over again (these two were both quite large, and were apparently the last of a “litter” of iughrioth).
