Trivia
- The Stalker, Lava Lizard and Reaper Leviathans are the only two fauna having no bioluminescent glands.
- Bioluminescence is used by many real-life animals for counter-illumination, luring prey, attracting mates, confusing predators, mimicking other animals, communication, and as a warning to would-be predators.
