This delay means that they've socially decoupled the responsibility of taking care of children from the act of creating them.

Kt'Zr'Kt'Rtl spend two years in their eggs before they finally hatch (and then only live another thirty-five years or so).

Their history is one of cascading consequences, and their civilization is riding the tidal wave of disaster. So, Kt'Zr'Kt'Rtl are great people to have around when you need a hero, but they'll tend to cause situations that require more heroes. Which is to say, if you do something that breaks everything in three years, it's the people who are nearby when things break who are morally obligated to fix it - that's not your responsibility.

Kt'Zr'Kt'Rtl treat responsibility as a property of locality, not causality.

Most of their technological solutions look “impossible” to anyone who isn't a Kt'Zr'Kt'Rtl. They tend to solve problems in the least logical way imaginable, and often at extremely high speed. The Kt'Zr'Kt'Rtl mostly just avoid all that by flying away, which means that their infrastructure is temporary at best. Their home world is Nz'Dlr'Nx, an icy planet interspersed with volcanoes and hurricanes, nearly inhospitable. Their “vocalization” is done by rubbing or striking various parts of their body together. Kt'Zr'Kt'Rtl don't breath through their head.
