Broo

River of Cradles p 32:
"The gestation period for a broo is 2 seasons + 1D8 weeks" Oh, and it does 2D6 damage to the abdomen on exit. Not necessarily lethal, from the sound of it.
The looks of the offspring: "capable of movement at birth, and already possessing teeth... The new larval broo invariably attempts to scuttle away from 'mother' and escape into the wilds."

Hope this helps. For a vaguely mammalian and human-sized creature, 12 weeks average sounds more reasonable than three days, anyway. I think personally I'd make the gestation period proportional to the size of the eventual adult broo, since they do vary considerably.
