Delta orix hatchlings move sluggishly, but are capable of quick bursts of speed when some juicy prey is spotted. Though they hide among corals and rocks much of the time, many still fall prey to larger predators. Those that survive eventually grow too big for their nursery and leave for less crowded spaces. They will settle on a patch of ocean floor to maintain as their territory, building a burrow in the sand.
Orixes are a marine species of dragon. They have poor eyesight, only able to see things close to their faces, and therefore rely on their sensitive spines and tendrils to detect small movements in the water nearby for hunting. The larger delta orix are a muted grey in color and inhabit the ocean floor, while rufous orix are brightly colored and live in schools near the coast. Rufous orix are popular imagery in the Callisto Islands, with pictures of them adorning houses and carvings of them being common around the villages. Delta orix, however, are seen as passive and lethargic and lazy children are often called dull as a delta.
