I have no idea, but I never saw a pregnant one...If they are hybrids I think they are sterile.

I don´t have any idea.

[Negativedark]

Well most naturally occuring hybrids are sterile, ala mules. Some however, like Ligers can breed, but only with one of the parent species. But I don't think that the organization would wan't to risk the Claymores bieng able to increase their numbers without them. And they really wouldn't want the Awakened breeding.

Their bodies may be surgically hybridized, but that doesn't mean their genes are altered. This is not Lamarckian evolution. Their offspring would be 100% human.

[Tempest35]

Granted, what 'fool' would sleep with a silver-eyed witch? The stigma as well as the physical deformation is a complete turn off for nearly every human male. It's not like anyone's given them an opprotunity to breed yet

[Nightengale]

I get the feeling male Claymores wouldn't mind.

Spoiler for later volumes/Daf/Riful:

Besides, the whole "accept me without breaking" talk by Riful towards Daf, almost makes me wonder what kind of things they're doing off-screen. One being a huge hulk that generate multiple rods, and another tentacle ribbon monster. Eek.

[Zu Ra]

I must say the monsters just keep getting better and better . Claymore will have tons of Dojins published on in already in Jpn thanks to these monsters @__@

[Defiled one]

Amen! Got to praise the original monsters though. All of them are different.

They remind me of R.G Giger Alien. They seem to be like that.

Helen said in volume 5:

"You brought a kid? It can't be your own."

So no pregnancy for Claymores.

And what she said afterwards? Yeah...Seems to me that is normal for

Spoiler for 1:

Claymores to have boys or girls following them

[Tempest35]

Boy did Clare get pissed at Helen for saying that.

But children have a much easier time accepting a person despite what most adults would shun. All the Claymores need a hug (give Barney to Ophelia and watch the fun XD).

[lousy]

yea ophelia will say something like Get away from me or i'll really kick you. and then she proceeds to slash him apart.. really fun lol.

but it doesnt really matter whether they can breed or not. they hardly get in contact with humans anyway. and the awakened beings dont have children anyway. imagine riful and daf bringing a small kid under the sun and pointing to a goat or something and saying, "go make mincemeat outt'f him myboy!" or something.

Thats not how Helen meant by it. What she actualy meant was...

[cyoti]

Helen seems to be the only one amongst them that has a sense of humor.

[HinaThePrince]

Or more than three facial expressions.

[Negativedark]

Secret of her popularity I think.

[HinaThePrince]

Of course.

As evident from other chapters awaken beings do eat.

Try the japanese Manga thread. Your questions has already been answer there.

Well, I've only read the published Claymore volumes so far, up to the one with Clare's "Quick Sword" training montage.

Anyway, I was hoping they'd take it that direction, because most of the Yoma up until now were generally faceless chunks of meat waiting to be slaughtered by Claymores. The ones with the most personality is the first Yoma we meet and the Yoma that was hiding out in the cathedral's as a mummy.

But what got me hoping there was something interesting is that the Yoma are:
-intimately aware of their victims' emotional state (possessed bodies cry and they can fake a person well enough to fool loved ones)
-have the powers of language (they're not just dumb but cunning beasts -- they'll brag, they'll posture and they'll speculate about a Claymore's strategy)
-are capable of cooperating with other Yoma (i.e. the town in which Theresa first picks up Clare)
-apparently come in the winged variety (Clare threw her sword at this one)

The Organization being the dirty liars that they are, there may really be "Voracious Eaters" in the sense of individual Yoma evolving and getting more experience as they age. So maybe they're just throwing this label on "Awakened Ones" since it involves inventing less elaborate lies.

That and the volume preview mentioned something about the Yoma mobilizing against the Claymores.

I did not, remotely even for a split second thought that the Theresa Arc was a flashback arc until that very last page of that arc.

I didn't know this either at least till Teresa gave the girl her name.
