The Ghostray is a medium-sized, passive fauna species that spawns in various areas around the Lost River. The Ghostray frequently emits a very loud, droning sound.
Appearance
The Ghostray is very large and possesses a body structure similar to real-life manta rays. Its inner body resembles that of a Jellyray, while its outer body resembles that of a Crimson Ray. It is entirely translucent and emits a cyan bioluminescence. It has two glowing red organs behind the eyes, as well as another non-bioluminescent organ just above the base of the tail.

Behavior
Ghostrays will aimlessly swim around and flee if approached by the player or shark-classified fauna. Despite being located in a cave, they swim slower at night and are harder to scare. However, Ghostrays are curious and will swim towards small classified fauna.

This ray species has adapted to deep-sea conditions. Its body is fully protected by a translucent skin, and its large wings are capable of generating considerable thrust.
- Poisonous Flesh: As is common for rays on 4546B, the Ghostray's flesh is inedible, making it one of the more resilient herbivores.
- Feeding Behavior: Feeds on plant matter that has settled on the ground in deep sea caverns.

Trivia
- The Ghostray is stated to be the closest in morphology amongst the living rays to the Alpha Ray Species, making this species the most basal of the group.
- The Ghostray is very closely related to the Crimson Ray found in the Inactive Lava Zone and Lava Lakes.
- The Ghostray is somewhat closely related to the Jellyray. This also means that it is distantly related to the Rabbit Ray, which appears to be the most derived of the rays.
- The Ghostray's sounds were created from those of a whale.
- Ghostrays don't have a death animation.
