"Phssthpok was a Pak. That meant he had three stages of growth-Childhood, Breeder, and finally Protector, the last was achieved around the age of 45 Earth Years. At that time, all being well, basic physiological changes would take place and provided a Pak had access to proper food a Protector could be virtually immortal."
Protector, Larry Niven
NOTE:
At the time I didn't think to create a new label "A Host of Charcters". It has grown to be a rather large sub-label though to large for me to go back and elevate all these posts to a proper label.
