The Biter's body som

Small, aggressive specimen. 94% muscle, 4% connective tissue, 2% brain. Likely indiscriminate when hunting: anything injured is fair game.

Specialized Olfactory Antenna:
Employed in detection of bodily fluids in the water.
Secondary Pair of Eyes:
Striking similarities to the sand shark's. Likely dedicated to detecting the peripheral movement of larger predators.
Overdeveloped Tail Fin:
Favors out-pacing and outnumbering their prey over individual maneuverability.

Prey: Small herbivores; but according to calculations creatures up to 100x the biter's body weight could succumb to a focused assault.

Assessment: Avoid large groups - Try not to bleed

Despite having a closer resemblance to real life anglerfishes, the Biter's behavior strongly associates them with real life piranhas.
There is a subspecies of the Biter called the Blighter that lives in the Blood Kelp Zone and the Blood Kelp Caves.
Biters once lived around the Floating Island, but were removed from the location soon after they were added.
