Arachons

THE APEX PREDATORS

Arachons are a carnivorous species with low intelligence living inside the gas giant Proton Prime. The species is a streamlined hunter, it has been designated leviathan class by its size. It is one of the most dangerous creatures in the Alpha Centauri star system.

1. Echolocation: The creature has evolved with no eyes. The deep roar emitted by Arachons regularly is an effective sonar, also if you hear its roar it can see you.

2. Intelligence: The predator is 92.5% muscle tissue, 1.5% brain and the other 6% bones and organic plating, its low intelligence causes it to attack anything it sees, mistaking it for its prey.

3. Diet: Arachons mostly consume Glide-Planktons in the upper atmosphere while sometimes devouring on their own species. Their deadly attacks on intruders to their domain are not predatory in nature, but territorial. The Arachons require a huge amount of Glide Planktons to satisfy its daily calorie requirements. They swallow their prey alive, dissolving it with acid inside its body.

4. Appearance: Its muscled interior body is surrounded by organic plating, suggesting adaptation for extreme pressure, low-light environments. When threatened it can attack with incredible speeds. The body is mainly orange-black colored with rare gray spots on it. The scanned specimen is 85m long.

5. Gliding: Arachons use their 6 pairs of giant fins to endlessly glide inside the gas giant. Usually they glide at the depth of around 25km but they are reported to go down to the crushing depths of 100km for safety against their own species. They attack with their strong head smashing into anything that it sees.

Assessment: Extreme threat - Avoid in all circumstances.
