Strange, underwater plants grow around the shell of this egg.
Stories of mendotas have been told for hundreds of years. Some of these tales are quite far fetched, with these companions taking revenge on those who harm the sea. They even say giant mendotas can work together to capsize boats of sailors who fish too heavily. Such a sight has never been seen, of course, and is generally regarded as myth. Mendotas loathe leaving the ocean, and only come to the surface for air. They do so only during the darkest hours of the night, and to see one is a rare sight. For the most part, mendotas remain underwater, near coral reefs. They are nearly impossible to spot due to their unique shells, which are completely covered in barnacles and coral. Mendotas do not mind these plants in the least, as they work as natural camouflage. In the unlikely event that a predator can see through this camouflage, mendotas simply swim away. These companions have extremely powerful flippers, and can move very quickly and gracefully. Mendotas eat a variety of foods, ranging from shrimp to seagrass. They are one of the only creatures that consume this grass, which must be kept short in order to grow and cover the sea floor. These companions also take on the duties of caring for their environments, by consuming any threatening foreign vegetation. They are well known as caretakers of the oceans, and are looked on fondly by villagers.
