Adult Male
Name: unnamed
Species: Aethershark
Birthday: Wednesday, January 1, 2020
Owner: Telynaur
Element: Light
An adult aethershark isn't a huge animal, but that doesn't mean they can't be dangerous if threatened. Fully-grown, an aethershark can absorb the light around it and expel this light in a burst of energy like lightning, and physically they have sharp teeth and the ability to stun with a smack of their long tails. They use the long tassels on their tails and fins to attract prey, which often doesn't see them lying unmoving in the shallow water until too late. At night their skin often takes on a cool blue glow, and they seem to enjoy storms, often breaching into the air when lightning is heavy in the sky.
Aethersharks are slow-growing and slow to breed. Although friendly as hatchlings, as adults they're usually found in small groups of only two to three individuals, or they stay alone. Either way, aethersharks respect the territory of other members of their species and of the other creatures that share the ocean with them. When entering another shark's territory, they will often give off flashes of blue light as both alert and as confirmation that they're only passing through and not looking for trouble. Their speed and electrifying ability mean that they're able to avoid most predators, or at least stun them long enough to escape.
