A Green Skin youngster could either climb higher in this endless battle or die somewhere along the way.
This also led to a situation where once an area became completely Green Skin, their numbers would actually reach a certain limit. The carrying capacity of the land and nutrition, as well as internal strife among the Green Skins, would curb their numbers, achieving a dynamic equilibrium.
According to scholars in the Star Domain who studied Green Skins, an alien species, the total number of Green Skin life forms within the four star sectors—only counting the youngsters and pests, not the Skugg Beasts—is estimated to be around 150 billion. Based on the usual ratio of one Beastman to ten pests, the number of proper Beastmen could reach 15 billion.
Before the third Iron Teeth War, this number might have been only three or four hundred billion. In twenty-six years, their numbers had surged four or five times, and they had all become warriors.
