I think Au Ra follow the reptilian growth rate between sexes. Well, crocodile in particular.Â
Compare the sexes to the sexual dimorphism you see in crocodile. The males are SIGNIFICANTLY BIGGER (Aka in saltwater crocodile males can reach 20 feet, females never go past 10 feet.) Thus one can assume that just like crocodile the males fight significantly more while the females are the nurtures to an extent. Like a reverse lion pride (crocodile are actually gregarious but that's beside the point. )
Though that only seems like a good reason for Xaela dimorphism tbh. Id think Reala just happened to have such dimorphism size because they either branched off from Xaela at one point with a common ancestor in which the dimorphism is inherited. Or they go through a island gigantism type ordeal or something where their lifestyle required bigger males over females. The males have to protect their females from would be predators maybe? Thetes bound to be bigger predators than Raen out there to induce male dimorphism. Xaela probably got it as a way to kill each other easier like most animal battles go. The bigger the predator, the better the win.
Im a animal biology nerd, sorry
