Feats/Statements
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Types: There are multiple types of Threats, all modeled in some way after an existing animal. 
* Tadpole: A giant black Threat similar to a tadpole with legs. Two sizes of this Threat are seen, ones easily larger than a 20-ton truck and a smaller version the size of a large semi-truck. It can split its body to reveal a maw of crocodile-like teeth with electric plasma jets.
* Hippo: A hippo-like Threat specialized in defense, capable of shrugging off a Sparkle's laser beam.
* Sea Urchin: A slate pencil sea urchin-like Threat with a nearly spherical body covered in protusions similar to TV antennas which wriggle around to move its body. It is around 2m tall to the end of the spines. It's speculated to be a sensor unit that can intercept wireless communications, and it's unknown whether it has combat capabilities. 
* Jellyfish: A black jellyfish-like Threat with a 2m main body and long tentacles. Normally it's attached to the bottom of the ocean with a chain, floating around like a sea mine. When it detects an enemy it chases them beneath the water before leaping from below them. It lacks optical sensors, and it's speculated it might locate its prey with ultrasound or microwaves.
* Sea Anemones: A red sea anemone-like Threat with countless tentacles. The sizes of this type of Threat vary, from smaller versions with a diameter of 10m to some with a diameter of more than 100m. This type of Threat acts as some form of recharge station, stabbing its tentacles into other Threats and inserting some form of non-liquid power source. They are vulnerable to powerful EMPs, which can cause them to explode.
* Water Strider: A water strider-like Threat. Its combat capabilities are unknown, but it's very fast and uses optical sensors.
Cannibalization: Threats possess the ability to cannibalize the parts of fallen or heavily damaged Threats to customize themselves, improving and evolving mid-battle.
