Line 196:
** Our heroes end up accidentally flattening their last female during first contact and dooming them to extinction. The Bradicor react more with annoyance than anything else.
* In ''[[Jack (webcomic)|Jack]]'' there are some people who have missed their chance to die for some reason, their biology is frozen at the point where they should have died and they can't reproduce as a result.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20121017022438/http://www.pholph.com/strip.php?id=5&sid=3375 And now it appears that sterile immortality was intentional.]
* The fae of ''[[Drowtales]]'' have a version on this, in that they're [[Immortality|type II immortals]] and have very low fertility rates in even the best of times. Diva'ratrika Val'Sharen is over a thousand and has only had five (surviving) daughters and one son, while her daughter Zala'ess has had many more and her sister outright that she's had to do [[Really Gets Around|a lot of screwing around]] to get that many. [[Word of God]] is that female fae do not get periods, which probably explains why the birthrate is so low and why even very old fae like {{spoiler|Ash'waren}} who is a dark elf and over 1,000, can still be having children since they do not have an equivalent of menopause.
