Some key reasons for partially developed offspring:

• Genetic issues, parents sexual organs incorrectly formed, in turn malforming the offspring

• Pollution, parents consuming something they shouldn't have while the offspring was developing

• Breeding between relations; accidently mating with a brother or sister, in turn causing defects as many of the genes are the same
