The mark of Yurot is not a physical sign more of a spiritual one. When a needleback is born and is sensed to have the mark of Yurot they go to their local temple of Yurot and stay there with only other marks of Yurot. There they train in the art of combat and combat tactics to physical perfection for years, never leaving the temple till it is time to leave and become a slayer of Yurot whose job it is to start, participate in and win wars.
