History:

This large, predatory fish grows to enormous size. It uses specialized organs in its head and nose to detect bio-electrical and electrical impulses in the water, which lets it track even the most well-hidden prey. This often leads to the creature attacking aquatic installations with its massive, razor sharp teeth when the creature confuses the technology for food. Due to its sensitivity to electrical impulses, the creature is often herded away from aquatic installations by directing a massive electrical charge at the creature when it ventures too close.

Dragon Fish are a primary predator of young Lygria and nearly any other living creature the inhabits the ocean. Young Ma'Syra typically inhabit coral reefs until they reach roughly six meters in length and begin to explore the deeper waters of Argyra. The species is very long lived and adult Ma'Syra have no natural predators. Unfortunately for the species, the age of sexual maturity does not occur until the animal is nearly a decade old. This has resulted in a decline in population in recent years as the popularity of eating raw seafood has increased.

Notable Player-Characters: None

You know the drill, mate! This species is UNDER REVIEW - meaning that has been given a quick look, and it will be looked over more in-depth by myself or another Codex Judge. You will then be tagged when we either request edits, or have no edits to request (a.k.a. insta-approve).
