The Crimson Ray is a passive life form belonging to the fauna category. It spawns exclusively in the Inactive Lava Zone and the Active Lava Zone.

Appearance

In terms of body shape, the Crimson Ray is identical to the Ghostray, however, it has major differences in coloration:

• The creature's body is opaque.
• The top side of the creature is predominantly dark red in color, with a few lighter patches, whilst its underside is pale yellow in color.
• Its eyes and gill rows emit a yellow, bioluminescent glow.

Behaviour

The Crimson Ray swims aimlessly around the Inactive Lava Zone and Active Lava Zone in small or large groups. On occasion they can be seen swimming away from Lava Lizards. They will ignore the player as they glide gently through the lava zones.
