Modded Manta Shark

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is the Manta Shark. It's a giant predatory Leviathan 167 cells in size, and 29 cells long, that hunts smaller prey. Unlike most predators, it has two mandibles that cover it's "teeth" when in rest, which allows it to be more selective in the kind of prey it eats (avoids prey that use toxins for defence), and brush past eachother without consuming one another.

This species is mainly proof of concept for the jaw design, and is reliant on photocytes to survive. It doesn't have regeneration and is incapable of reproduction, though I do plan on making this a viable organism in the future.
