A small fin is starting to emerge from this leathery egg.
Caerulean hammerheads are unusually social for sharks, often seen swimming and even hunting in small groups. During the breeding season in the Callisto Islands, these sharks gather by the thousands to swim out to the seamounts further east, much to the dismay of local fishermen whom they rob along the way. Caerulean hammerheads can eat almost anything they come across, but they tend to be pickier outside of the breeding season, preferring stingrays and flounder on the seabed to free-swimming fishes. Though caerulean hammerheads do not appear to have magical abilities, their peculiar heads are loaded with sensitive nerves which can detect vibrations and signals in the water, allowing them to locate prey that is covered by sand. When hunting in groups, one shark will chase a fish into a small reef while the other sharks come upon it from the sides, trying to pin it down with their heads. No one is quite sure how such maneuvers are coordinated, for caerulean hammerheads don't make noise to communicate. Though not as dangerous as the larger species of sharks, fishermen know to treat them with respect, for a large hammerhead can easily topple a small fishing boat or tear netting to shreds in order to reach a fresh catch. At the Keep, hammerheads must be given saltwater pools, for they are sensitive to minute changes in salinity.
