Gulguthras had tentacles that could grow up to 14 feet (4.3 meters) long, and they could communicate [[telepathy|telepathically]]. However, gulguthras rarely used this form of communication, as they often did not interact with other creatures. Relying on their keen visual sense, such creatures could sense others with [[infravision]] and [[ultravision]], but could not smell.<ref name="dmg96"/> |

Any other gulguthra, even those of a different type, could then fertilize the eggmass, but the details of this process were unknown. As all dung eaters were bisexual, it was not often difficult to find a mate willing to fertilize the eggmass. After a while, the fertilized eggmass would produce a newborn gulguthra, which would then become adults in approximately four months.<ref name="dmg96"/> |
