Are there male Veelas, and if not, how con their be any full Veelas?Harry Potter Fantic 1 23:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)-Harry Potter Fantic 1

hehehe, good question, aparently they don't exist, but it may be possible that Veelas don't need a male to reproduce, doing it asexually, it may be possible that always interbreed with other creatures but "control" that reproduction to keep Veela-like traits... It may be possible that they just "pop" to existence like magic. xD —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluelantern (talk • contribs).

There must be part Veela males because Bill ad Fleur have a son who would be one eighth Veela. But I suppose thats to little to really think about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Palmala (talk • contribs).

Unless they lay eggs....they turn into creatures resembling Harpies remember. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 08:10, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

On the Second W.O.M.B.A.T. test, there was a multiple choice question, "Which of the following statements is FALSE?", and one of its possible answers was "There are no male Veela."

There are several types of asexual reproduction found in nature. Simultaneous hermaphrodites, like earthworms, are species in which individuals produce both male and female gametes. Earthworms still need to mate with another individual, though, because they have biological safeguards against autogamy (i.e., an individual fertilizing its own eggs with its own male gametes). There are also all-female species, like whiptail lizards, which reproduce through a method called parthenogenesis. This involves the female producing eggs which develop into embryos without fertilization by a male.

It's possible that Veela are an all-female species which reproduces through parthenogenesis. However, Fleur's grandmother, a full Veela, married a wizard and had a half-Veela child, Apolline. So, if a female Veela can interbreed with a human male, it stands to reason that Veela do not reproduce asexually. Therefore there must logically be male Veela. However, male Veela may naturally be rarer than female Veela, which is why none are encountered or mentioned in the books. ★ Starstuff ^{(Owl me!)} 00:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking that the reason why you don't see male veela is because they rarely go out, like how in many human cultures women stay indoors. I wonder if they have the effects on women that female veela have on men. 98.182.42.245 22:56, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I still think that they could lay eggs in the harpy form. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 01:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

So, have we all agreed that there ARE, in fact, Veela men? Because it seems like its the only thing that makes sense. Unless they are hermaphrodites (something that would turn off most men), or they can produce both asexually and sexually... You know, Draco Malfoy seems to have some Veela attributes. He might even be a far-off relative of Fleur's through his father's side, which would coincide with J.K. Rowling's planning where everyone is related in some way... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.188.61.150 (talk • contribs).

What? In what way does Draco have Veela attributes? The only women in the series seemingly attracted to him are Pansy Parkinson and his later wife (and if that's enough to count him as having "Veela attributes", then Ginny Weasley is probably part Veela, too). Unless you're counting fan fiction, that is. And that's mostly just with Tom Felton's help. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.213.145.147 (talk • contribs) 21:19, 22 July 2009.
