'''Featherscales''' are carnivorous fish native to warm-to-tropical waters of the Coastal Shallows and Western Ocean regions.

These wolf-sized predators are exclusively adapted for hunting Sea Bloats, to the point that *any* change in the Sea Bloat population has a corresponding and profound effect on Featherscale numbers.

The main hunting tactic of the Featherscale is to "wind-up" the muscles in their tail, putting all their energy into a tremendous burst of speed, and leaping out of the water. From their, the creatures glide for several minutes, attempting to spear any Sea Bloats with their mandibles. Eventually, though, the Featherscale must return to the water (as it does not possess lungs, only gills), and gravity takes its toll. Ideally, the creature will have snagged a Bloat, floating on the surface and ripe for the picking. If not, the creature will have to try again later, when it cathes its "breath".

Featherscales lay thousands of soft slimy-coated eggs in underwater caves disguised with sea-flora. The young hatch into small thumb-sized fry that must fend for themselves from the moment of birth. On average, only around 7% reach adulthood.
