PDA entry
- Marrowbreach (tentatively Mango marrowbreach).
- Dangerous selachian predator. (Selachian means sharklike.)
- 1. Bone-cutting jaws
- Adapted to shear through tough, plasticized flesh. Edged in iron and salt tesserae. Bites deliver thousands of newtons of force in sixty milliseconds. Beware of pre-attack behaviors such as circling or test bumping.
- 2. Small eyes
- Optic nerves connected directly to the jaw muscles - probably for bite timing. May be distracted by bright lights.
- 3. Sophisticated non-visual senses
- Body lined with neuromasts and gel-filled ampulae to detect motion and electric fields. Sensitive hearing. Aware of prey before they are aware of it.
- 4. Streamlined body
- Large caudal fin and muscular peduncle allow for sudden lunges. Squalene-rich liver provides buoyancy control. There is no thruster; the marrowbreach swims like a conventional fish.
- Assessment: apex predator. Avoid or distract. Investigate long-term possibility of mutual association through cleaning/feeding, but remember that this is a wild animal.
