Appearance

The S It is possibl

A streamline predator with developed intelligence and strength. Encountered in the kelp forests, in wait of prey leaving the safety of the shallows.

Head:
An elongated snout can deliver huge biting pressure to larger attackers, but also be used to get at small herbivores seeking refuge amongst the rocks. Retinal layering on the eyeball suggests adaptation for night-time hunting.
Dorsal Ridges:
These ridges can be moved independently to deliver superior maneuverability.
Pelvic Fins:
Long and powerful, the stalker has evolved to hunt even the fastest of prey.
