This article is about the Ghostray. You may be looking for the Crimson Ray or the Jellyray.

Template:Class 2 Fauna

The Ghostray is passive life form, belonging to the fauna category, that spawns exclusively in the Lost River Tree Cove.

It produces a very loud, droning sound.

Appearance

The Ghostray is very large, and possesses a body structure similar to that of real life manta rays. It's inner body resembles that of a Jellyray, but 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

The Ghostray is a docile creature, spending a majority of its time swimming aimlessly around the Giant Cove Tree.

It moves by flapping its wings up and down, looking like a bird. Even though some favor the tree, a couple of Ghostrays can be found swimming around the Lost River, idling their time away.

  • Docile
  • Feeds on plant matter than has settled on the sea floor

Assessment: Inedible but harmless
