Pygmy SingerPristis minimus
|
The Pygmy Singers are tiny, very active and live in large pods.
They inhabit the radioactive coral reefs of Aquella, but are capable of surviving anywhere in the world.
They have a hardened beak similar to the parrotfish, which enables them to eat the coral. The Pygmies tend to be known as the reef keepers, keeping the radioactive corals outrageous growth rates in check. They have 3 sets of flippers, which they use as their primary movements and propulsion, similar to shrimp. They slowly 'crawl' and drift around the coral branches picking out the tastiest of corals to munch on.
Their shrimp-like tail is mainly used for bursts of speed or longer distance travel.
They have developed a hardened shell along their backs similar to shrimps. The shell is often shiny and very brightly coloured, which both helps them blend in with the reef and scare away predators. This shell protects them from much larger predators that may frequent the reefs for a quick meal.
During breeding season they wiggle their tails causing the plates to rattle. They shimmy back and forth using this rattling to show off their physical state to attract a mate.

Diet:
Pygmy Singer's love to chomp on radioactive corals. But they will also eat other plants, crustaceans and fishes.
They prefer: Coral, Sponges, Seagrass, Starfish, Crabs, and Herring

Reproduction:
Pygmy Singer's give birth to live pups, similar to mammals. They also nurse their pups with milk.
Pygmy's reproduce very quickly. It is not uncommon for them to give birth twice in a year. They grow and develop rather quickly as well, reaching maturity at the age of 3.
They have an average lifespan of about 50 Years.

History:
The Pygmy Singer is one of the most mutated species in our world.
Originating from DNA of the long extinct porpoises and they have adapted features similar to shrimp and parrotfish. Most common belief is that The Nuclear War managed to fuse the DNA of one of the last porpoises with the remains of several shrimp species to create this new dragon.
These individuals managed to stay alive in the now irradiated coral reefs feeding on toxic waste and creatures until they all died off, then they fed on the toxic corals which were now growing out of control.
From here more creatures started to mutate and return to these reefs. These reefs will never be the same again. The normal bacteria and algae's that lived within the corals has now been replaced by algae's that thrive radioactive conditions. These are less susceptible to water and weather conditions, making them a more stable reef for the future. The Pygmies play a vital role in maintaining these reefs and are often called the Reef-Keepers.
