## Mythology

Mantabolt's species, the Baltorpetrideans, sprouted up from the primordial tide pools of their homeworld Siccabiro as small, tadpole-like mantas, possessing a unique evolutionary trait: a magnetic field, much like that of an electric eel. This magnetic field allowed them to become the predator of all species within the tide pools, and as evolution went on, they quickly developed into the dominant species and made the transition from the water to land.

Once on land, the Baltorpetrideans began utilizing their magnetic field more offensively, turning it into a form of electrokinesis, which is now how they hunt. During this time, they were an amphibious species, able to breathe in the water and on land; however, as their electrokinesis became more potent on dry land, the species as a whole lost the ability to control their magnetic field when submerged, and as such must now completely turn off the magnetic field whenever they enter the water. The Baltorpetrideans have become a simple fishing people, dipping their insulated tails into the water to shock fish, and collecting those which rise to the surface.

Baltorpetrideans can light up their scales to attract potential mates.

## History
