===Windsail Dolphin=== The Windsail Dolphin is an ectothermic, bony, jawed, carnivorous fish native to the Open Ocean's surface to mid-range depths. The Windsail Dolphin uses its large fins to be blown around by the wind, conserving energy by letting the breeze and tides carry them. Windsails are about as big as their dolphin namesakes, and have a similar diet, mostly small fish, like Shadow Ravesharks, but they are also known to dine on Stingers, though that's a gamble as the poisonous Stingers look no different than the non-poisonous. Why the sails developed is unknown, but the features get plenty of use during the semi-annual migration of the species, travelling from one end of the planet to the other. For a few years, the species lives in the northern hemisphere, slowly moving southwards, until, 3-5 years later, they near the edge of the region and begin migrating towards the southern hemisphere, gradually moving north, from whence they will return to the northern areas. This long process is in place to avoid "overfishing" an area, gradually moving once food hits a certain low, and returning many years later when prey populations have recovered. Each "pod" of about 20-35 individuals has its own migration routes. There is a point though, every decade or so (in Earth years) that the Windsails gather around the equator and exchange members of their pods, to mate and spread the gene-pool. It's a momentous event, thousands of Windsails from all across the planet, swimming in and out as part of their courtship dance and exchanging members, breeding and eventually giving live birth (the gestation period being only around a week or two). In about 6 years the babies born will be adults, with four years with their families before the next mating season when they'll go and live with another pod.
