: I am not sure about breeding, but GURPS sais they don't
: need to feed. Somewhere in M3 (i forgat, but im sure
: i've read it) you hear about Trows eating oghres or
: something else but whatever it was i'm sure it said
: they ate it.
: Maybe this doesn't say they need to eat to survive but
: i'm pretty sure GURPS contradicts M3 pretty much and
: isn't canon at all

There's a big difference between needing to eat and eating because you feel like it. The Trow did not eat the Oghres because they needed to do so, but because of the symbolism of the act, demonstrating how utterly they had destroyed the Oghres. A Trow does not need to eat in order to stay alive, but can do so if it feels like it.

As something of an analogy, Terry Pratchett says that Trolls, being silicatious lifeforms, can't actually digest people, but that hasn't stopped a lot of the more stubborn ones from trying. ;)
