extension to last post: enderbabies!!
additional notes:
-endermen are monogamous and both parents raise the young, but the female mostly does the heavy lifting while the male supports
-fully mature at about 3 years old
-the breeding pair often crafts a nest from a shulker shell with chorus flower bedding, this is the designated sleep spot for enderlings up until the clutch can no longer fit comfortably in it, this is treated as a symbolic coming of age thing
-they form very close bonds with their siblings, and sometimes the parents' own help with childrearing
-larvae are moved out of the nest during pupation and spaced out evenly on a bedded spot on the floor
-juvenile imagos are very awkward with their limbs at first and as a result often ride on their mother's back in public until they get the hang of walking
-"chorus milk" is just an inner light purplish liquid from chorus fruit, this essentially sets the path for not-yet-solid-eating imagos for gaining their teleportation by diet later
