I'm looking for a sci-fi book I read in probably the mid to late 80s. I recall an alien character — possibly not immediately identified as an alien — that was "pregnant" with its offspring, which was budding off its back(?).

The alien was friendly, I think, in possibly a political or exploration context, though I can't say if it had actual contact with humans in the novel. The alien character may have been something of an outcast among its own people.

I have some association with this character being near the sea, as for a long time I thought the book was The Face of the Waters by Robert Silverberg. However, I've recently re-read The Face of the Waters, and it's clearly not the story I was thinking of.
