They don’t really do a ‘by yearly’ thing, they tend to breed every 100-150 years. Hunting for the perfect prey for them takes a while, but it’s also because 1 egg in every clutch (each clutch has around 50 eggs) is born a normal Yehkshir. So the mother raises that one to ensure it’s survival against prey, The Black Swords, and how to hunt properly. That typically takes 100-150 years to do, so once the newborn Yehky is all trained that’s when the mother abandons her and breeds again.
Olfur tend to take even longer, they’re pretty much eternal so they take their time finding the right prey, and picking the perfect nests. Olfur also have to deal with Black Swords more often as they hunt Olfur as top priority.
