Fanta Rays

## Description

Fanta Rays are creatures resembling manta rays and are usually docile unless provoked. They are found in the sea. There are various "flavors" of Fanta Rays, with the most common being orange. They leave behind a fluid that tastes similar to Fanta.

Fanta Rays vary in size quite a bit, with the smallest reported being 1 foot long and the largest being 15 feet long. Never feed a Fanta Ray more than a pound of food within an hour, as doing so will cause it to swell leading to a dangerous explosion.

### Orange Fanta Rays

The most common type of Fanta Ray. These ones are pretty harmless unless you aggravate them. The residue they leave behind is drinkable and doing so poses no health risk. These Fanta Rays are around the same speed as humans, and their tail is the least poisonous, about the same as a normal manta ray.

### Cherry Fanta Rays

The smallest but most poisonous type of Fanta Ray. They usually range from 1 foot long to 5 feet long, but their tail's poison is the most dangerous, with around the same danger of a Black Widow Spider's venom. They are the fastest type as well, being about the same speed as an ostrich but underwater. They also need to be angered a lot less to become aggressive. Drinking the fluid it produces will give you a sore throat for an hour or two. The pain is dull but annoying but besides that it poses no health risks.

### Blue Raspberry Fanta Rays

Since these Fanta Rays are blue, they blend in with their environment a lot easier so they're more common in places where the water is bluer. They're almost always docile, and they only turn aggressive if you hurt their offspring. They're the largest type of Fanta Ray, with their size usually ranging from 5 feet to 15 feet. Their fluid is quite healthy for you so I actually recommend drinking it. Their tail's venom is also the least poisonous.

### Grape Fanta Rays

These Fanta Rays are pretty much the same as orange ones, except they can turn invisible. Drinking their fluid makes you walk faster but also makes you a lot gassier for a while. Their tail's poison is the same as an orange one's. They're also slightly slower.

## Biology

Fanta Rays are creatures that are similar to manta rays and come in a variety of different colors aka "flavors". They have the word "Fanta" and an emblem resembling 3 water drops on their back. The emblem varies in color depending on the flavor of the Fanta Ray. They are covered in a sticky film and consuming it is okay, but it tastes bitter. The fluid they leave behind is mostly safe aside from a few side effects, and it tastes like Fanta of the ray's respective flavor.

While a normal Manta Ray's antennae-like things on their face are lobes, with Fanta Rays they act as arms. They can stretch up to 5 feet in length and are very stong, being seen carrying heavy rocks or large pieces of machinery.

## Behavior

Fanta Rays are typically friendly to wanderers and sometimes they'll even let you ride them, but if you provoke or attempt to hurt them, they'll chase you, and once they catch you they'll punch your lights out with their strong antenna arm thingies. You can make them forgive you by stroking their belly for 10 seconds, which will relax them into a trance-like state for a while. Sometimes Fanta Rays will call for help of other types of Fanta Rays. So, yeah. Don't anger them.

Fanta Rays don't seem to mind when you drink their Fanta-y fluid, and some people even have them as pets. Additionally, feeding baby Fanta Rays will cause them imprint on you, and they'll follow you around for basically eternity. They're adorable, though, so it's not that bad.
