| Gender of creatures describes their role in the production of offspring. Mating in '''Shores of Hazeron''' produces live young. Egg hatching is not implemented, even though [[eggs]] exist as a [[commodity]].

| | |
| To produce offspring, a creature must be fully grown and it must not already be pregnant.
| |
| | |
| =Male=
| |
| Males mate with females to produce offspring. A female is sexually compatible with a male if they share the same [[phylum]] and [[Ecological_Role|ecological role]]. The offspring's DNA is a combination of its parents' DNA. Males do not gestate the young.
| |
| | |
| =Female=
| |
| Females mate with males to produce offspring. A male is sexually compatible with a female if they share the same [[phylum]] and [[Ecological_Role|ecological role]]. The offspring's DNA is a combination of its parents' DNA. Females gestate the young inside their bodies.
| |
| | |
| =Hermaphrodite=
| |
| Hermaphrodites mate with other hermaphrodites to produce offspring. Hermaphrodites are sexually compatible if they share the same [[phylum]] and [[Ecological_Role|ecological role]]. Only one becomes pregnant at any given union. The offspring's DNA is a blend of its parents' DNA.
| |
| | |
| Hermaphrodites are not currently implemented.
| |
| | |
| =Asexual=
| |
| Asexuals do not mate. Their body produces offspring at regular intervals. The young gestates inside its body. No genetic mutations occur in the DNA of the offspring.
| |
| | |
| Asexuals are not currently implemented.
