Respiration 2 (Cutaneous Respiration, Ram Ventilation, 10% off). Sharpness 1. Stamina 3. Strength 1.5. Support 1.5. Swim Speed 3.3. Toughness 0.5. Walk Speed 0.7.

Intelligence / Behaviour: Processes information and responds based on fixed behaviours. When observing a predator; swim away. When hungry; look for prey. When ready to reproduce, smell for other adults and move towards them, then attempt to mate with the source.

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

Internal Features: Inside each cell has a low pressure tolerant metabolism. 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, pumped by a simple heart. Muscles line either side of the body between the body wall and the cartilage vertebrae. The mouth is supported by a cartilage jaw, which is linked to a cartilage skull. The gastrointestinal tract from the mouth has a stomach with digestive juices followed by intestines, with vegetation-digesting microfauna, leading to the anus. There is also a liver. A brain 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. It hosts either male or female gonads. Kidneys, connected to circulatory system, expels waste to the bladder a tract.
