Reaper Prince — Background & Lore
The Reaper Prince is a 
Reaper variant, a young male Reaper rather than a full-grown 
Reaper King. The official wiki lists it among the Reapers used in certain Genesis Part 1 missions.
Where to find it
It has no normal wild spawn in our data. Expect it as a mission enemy on Genesis Part 1.
How to get one
It cannot be tamed or bred. Reapers of every variant follow the same rule. A Reaper King of your own comes from impregnation by a Reaper Queen.
Tips
It uses the full Reaper move set: a strong bite, a wide tail swipe, web and tail spike shots and a roar. Keep moving and stay out of the tail's reach.
