Geralluijella

## Geralluijella glabcaudata

Latest Mutations: Remove brittle scales, smaller

This species is much better off than its predecessor because it has lost the terrible, brittle and heavy scales on its tail. It is also smaller so as to be able to live off of smaller prey.

Status: Unlisted

Habitat: Tropical Shallows, Tropical Upper Ocean

Niche: Predator

Size: 4.5cm (length)

Nutritional Need: (180NP/10) x 7.5/10 = 12.6NP

Food / Oxygen Requirement: (12.6 x 0.6) x 0.9 = 6.8NP / 12.6NP

Abilities: Air Space. Barrier Immune System. Bioluminescence. Circulation. Cutaneous Respiration. Fatal Toxin. Gas Buoyancy. Liquid Excretion. Permeable Skin. Penetrates Hardness 1 (jaw). Ram Ventilation. Short-Term Memory. Solid Excretion. Strong UV Resistance.

Perception: Electroreception 1 (1 body length away, sideways field). Sight 1 (clear vision to the front, depth perception), Smell 1 (Detects smells).

Stats: Agility 1. Buoyancy 1. Coordination 1. Digestion 2 (Can break down multicellular matter, can digest meat, 20% off). Filtration 0. Intelligence 1. Reflexes -1. Respiration 1. Sharpness 2. Stamina 2.5. Strength 1.5. Swim Speed 2.2. Support 1.5. 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: The fish-shaped body has black melanin pigmentation in its

skin. The mouth contains razor-sharp teeth and has a pair of olfactory receptors above it. There are also forwards facing eyes. A line of electroreceptors flanks the body. It has oval pectoral ray-fins and a semi-circular diphycercal caudal fin beneath the tail. At the base of the tail is a pair of spines. The whole of the body is covered in cycloid scales and blue autogenic photophores.

Internal Features: Migmachordatix toxin is produced and secreted into spines. Three gill slits line just behind the head. A network of vascular blood vessels circulates red blood containing hemoglobin is pumped by a two-chambered heart. There is also a nephridium and the body is lined with muscle. The mouth is supported by a cartilage jaw. Food enters the stomach and then the intestine before exiting the anus. A brain with a memory lobe leads to a nerve cord with nerves running off like rungs on a ladder. The nerve cord is supported by a cartilage vertebrae. In the centre of the body is a swim bladder and below this are the testes in males and ova in females, with both in hermaphrodites.

Reproduction: Sexual. Ovuliparity (External Fertilisation). 1,000 eggs.

Castes/Phases: None.
