The Arrow Ray is a small fauna species.

Appearance[]

The Arrow Ray has an elongated, teardrop shaped body with a pale orange dorsal side and white ventral side. It lacks a tail fin, instead having a glowing point at the end of the body. For propulsion the creature uses a pair of over-sized triangular fins on the top and bottom of the head, each adorned with a spike on the front and a second, glowing spike on the back. The front pair of spikes extend beyond the head. The head section is comprised of a pair of large circular eyes and a simple, toothless mouth. Behind the eyes are two pairs of slot-shaped openings.

Behavior[]

Despite what their PDA entry implies, the Arrow Ray is completely harmless to the player. It swims slowly near the seabed, moving away from players who approach.
