They were made because Hauru wanted family, companionship, and people who could exist near her without dying. Because of this origin, the Hezuraitona carry a deep attachment to family structures, ritual belonging, and the care of children. That attachment is genuine. It is also the mechanism through which they sustain themselves and the lineage.

== Ritual adoption ==
Hezuraitona can create offspring through ritual adoption.
