The Coral Seacraw, a deep-sea predator with the head and body of a hyena, the forelegs of an eagle, and the tail and fin of a shark. They prowl through the ocean from reef to reef, where they take a brief respite from the deeps and sun themselves for a day or so. Their diet consists mainly of large fish, sharks, and young whales.
Fun Facts:
—The Coral Seacraw is a distant relative of the Coconut Seacraw, in the family Gryphenae.
—Corals seem to have a respect for orcas, never consuming them, and have even been observed hunting alongside them. They have, however, no qualms about consuming a dead killer whale.
—They lack the wings of their tropical cousin, but make up for it with a powerful tail. The tail resembles that of a shark, except that the caudal fin is horizontal, like all oceanic mammals.
—Three rows of bioluminescent spots line the Coral's side, and are only visible in the darkest water. The spots are for luring fish, as well as attracting mates in the breeding season. The tips of their fins also glow.
