Clones are artificially grown biological lifeforms that function as genetic copies of pre-existing lifeforms (or in other cases may have a artificially 'scrambled' genome as to not be copies of a pre-existing being) rather than being naturally born via reproduction. Biologically, Clones are identical to their natural counterparts and tend to share the same traits with the lifeforms they are printed off of aside for intentional augmentations or modifications added by those creating the clones, often involving behavioural modifications or filtering out less favourable traits from the origin species. While Clones can be made much quicker than most natural reproduction rates, the process tends to be quite expensive and requires sufficient precision as to avoid defects in clones, which often may be detrimental.
