Sea Bean

is a small, aquatic, photosynthetic Complien. It belongs to the Flora and Water Elements.
==Appearance==
It has a smooth yellow head with a long green tail. Its head is eyeless and has a wide mouth filled with narrow spines. On the part of the tail closest to the head are two stubby fins. It is, on average, 4 in (10 cm) long.
==Information==
===Habitat===
Sea Beans can be found in the Great Strait, Southern Ocean, and Colloidal Ocean of Complanet. They exclusively inhabit the uppermost photic layers of the pelagic zone.
They are extremely common within their habitats. More often than not, dipping a net into any patch of water will nab at least one Sea Bean.
===Biology===
Sea Beans spend most of their time floating just below the surface of the water and photosynthesizing with their tail. They passively consume plankton and dissolved minerals that enter their constantly-gaping mouth.
Their head is a hard, woody shell surrounding the Sea Bean's organs and ganglia. This shell also protects a small seed pod that contains several dozen Sea Bean seeds, each minuscule but very durable. Most of the Sea Bean's energy goes towards the creation of this seed pod.
===Behavior===
If touched, a Sea Bean immediately starts biting with its sharp teeth in random directions, then flees by whipping its tail back and forth to swim away. They are not intelligent enough to navigate around obstacles and will simply move in random directions if they hit something.
When a Sea Bean is done creating its seeds, however, it stops retaliating against predators and turns bright blue. Another creature, such as a Grouger, Gachaprawn, or Sfleame, usually gulps down the Sea Bean immediately. The digestive juices within the predator break down the seed pod, releasing the seeds, which pass through the digestive system unharmed. This process ensures that the Sea Bean's seeds are conveniently released within a lump of nutritious poop, expediting the growth of more Sea Beans.
