Anazitonta

## Anazitonta anazitonta

Latest Mutations: Memory = 5, Better Electroreception = 6, Teeth Able to Rip Chunks = 5

This was a predator with a sharp bite, with many blade-like teeth built to slice through chunks of flesh. This made it easier to hunt larger animals. A much more sensitive electroreception ability meant electric signals from other animals could be detected further away and when they were creating less of a signal, such as moving slowly. Electricity generated from the electric organ could make the surroundings even clearer. Along with this, short-term memory recorded experiences, allowing the animal to remember things like where food is and where it is safe.

Status: Extinct (Outcompeted)

Habitat: Tropical Shallows, Temperate Shallows, Tropical Upper Ocean, Temperate Upper Ocean

Niche: Predator

Size: 5cm (length)

Nutritional Worth: (76/10 X 3.5 =) 26.6NP

Food / Oxygen Requirement: 28NP / 47NP

Abilities: Permeable Skin. Bioluminescence. Short-Term Memory.

Perception: Blurry sight. Can detect electrical signals up to tens of metres away and smells up to ten meters away.

Intelligence / Behaviour: Processes information and responds based on fixed behaviours. It knows to eat and avoid being harmed.

External Features: Streamlined fish-shape body with black pigmentation; it has oval pectoral ray-fins, a caudal fin beneath the tail and two spines on it's base. Cycloid scales cover the thin skin layer, a line of electroreceptors on the flank and blue autogenic photophores dot the body. A mouth containing lots of razor-shaped teeth, olfactory receptors and upwards facing pinhole eyes make up the face.

Internal Features: Migmachordatix toxin is produced and secreted into spines. Three gill slits sit each side of head. A network of vascular blood vessels circulates red blood containing hemoglobin. Muscles line either side of the body between the body wall and the cartilage membrane. The mouth is supported by a cartilage jaw. The gastrointestinal tract from the mouth has stomach a with digestive juices followed by intestines leading to the anus. A slightly bigger brain, with a memory lobe, encased in the head connects to two nerve cords which branch into network of nerves. A swim bladder lies in the centre of the body, near to the electric organ. It hosts male and female gonads. Protonephridia, connected to hemacoel, expels waste through pores.

## Anazitonta soundwavei

Latest Mutations: 4 = Faster growth rate, 5 = Longer life span, 4 = larger size

This relatively large species of Anazitonta is a hunter of smaller members of the genus; the ancestral Anazitonta anazitonta, as well as Pigocauda corallus. But luckily for these species it only inhabits the temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere. It has a constantly faster metabolism, so it is faster and grows faster - at the cost of expending more energy. It also does not age as quicker, so has a longer lifespan.
