Rabbit Ray

The Rabbit Ray is a passive fauna species which dwells mainly in the Kelp Forest and Safe Shallows, but can often be found in the Crash Zone. It is named after its two large orange ears.

Appearance

The Rabbit Ray is comparably small, having a rather flat body. Its head has two large eyes, a small mouth resembling that of a real-life rabbit, and two bright orange protrusions pointing backward. Its body adorns two large undulating wings and ends with a pair of caudal fins.

The Rabbit Ray also features a spectacular body coloration, most of which is capable of emitting a bioluminescent glow: its wings having glowing blue outlines, its dark blue dorsal side dotted with bright blue spots, its underside a dull yellow, and its tail fins blue and orange in color.

Behavior

Rabbit Rays will aimlessly swim around and will flee if approached by the player or a shark classified fauna. Rabbit Rays are curious and will swim towards small classified fauna and Fragments.

Data Bank Entry

A herbivorous aquatic lifeform, rabbit rays appear to live serene and solitary lives, with few predators, a natural sense of curiosity and awesomely poisonous flesh.

1. Ears: Twin orange appendages mounted on the head sense vibration in the water.
2. Undulating Wings: Markedly similar method of transportation to that of earth rays. Zero genetic resemblance detected, suggesting these two species independently developed similar solutions to their environmental circumstances.

Evidence indicates its large, side-facing eyes are relatively recent adaptations. It is likely there are related ray species in other environmental biomes on the planet.

Assessment: Inedible but harmless
