Slice Shriekers (immanis cultro) are small but deadly 1 foot long 0.5 feet tall predators that may be little compared to other predators but are one of the most feared creatures when they travel in colonies of thousands and millions, being able to take down massive prey like Gosed gars, Turbititans or even the massive Meganthalagons (Maxima Serpe). They will crawl on the sea bed and viciously attack anything they come across in a feeding frenzy, using their strong legs to leap onto their prey and use their beak to inject toxins. They have strong, motion-sensitive compound eyes covered with a jail bar-like structure. They also inject eggs into their prey and are parasitic. They communicate using loud ear-splitting shriek that disorients prey or attackers. They are fearless and will go after giant prey, even if it means losing some members of the colony. Even though they seem like mindless monsters, the colony members help each other to care for and raise young and care for weak, sick or injured members of the colony. Their only threat is brain burner, a microscopic parasite that is fatal to most Aquarin creatures.
