From what I know about biology is that there are some marine animals that indeed hatch the eggs inside their bodies. However, I can't quite explain in high detail, but a lot of non in-depth detail. From what the internet has to say, 40% of sharks act out oviparity (layin of the eggin). Then the other 60% use viviparity, which allows the eggs to hatch inside the mother before release. From the general appearance of our Sharq friends I'd say that they are more likely to be Viviparous (hoping I didn't just make that word up) as the young probably wouldn't last long in the world of monsters.

Then there's Plesioth. It's more than likely that to compete with Leviathans for resources that Plesioth has to be on edge quite a lot of the time, but for defensive purposes I can't say for sure how much it would adapt for conceiving. It's very likely to lay eggs in places that wouldn't be used as nesting grounds for levis, such as beaches, moss beds, and the odd ocean floors. Although Plesioth is a marine monster it can be taken into consideration that, like some amphibians, can lay the eggs on their body. Some species of frogs for example lay eggs in their backs (no spelling error, that is IN their backs). Putting that aside there is a method used by some deep sea fish who's name I've clearly forgotten that lays it's eggs in a sack that clings to it's body until hatching. But in the end, I find they are likely to be Viviporous, considering their size and rather bulky hips. Unless Plesioth actually has another use for such a plump stomach area, that's what I find is most believable.

And I apologize for taking this much space for something that may or may not have helped in the study whatsoever. I just do what I do, say what I say, in hopes it'll be handy.
