I want it to be noted that those gestation periods are pretty absurd. Elves and Dwarves aren't any larger than humans, and if cell division were actually that slow for those species, the individuals in them would never heal from a wound before they died from it. I mean, obviously magic can explain it all away, but if there's no good reason for it, why complicate? -Slitherrr
