Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: Saltwaters.. They prefer warmer waters, but can easily enough adjust to colder waters, as
they're a migratory species... Finding a freshwater specimin is very rare.. see breed differences for details.
Diet: These creatures feed on fish. Seryn, unfortunatly, seems to be a favorite - so if you plan on housing
your seryn with your Neptica, please be sure to introduce your Neptica to it at a very young age - so they
grow up "in the family" of seryn. Larger breeds of Neptica (see breed differences for details) can eat larger
aquatic creatures, but never canibalize.
Call: Neptica have many, many calls.. from clicks to whistles to squeals - their vocalization rivals that of
even the Pliathor! It's difficult to understand their calls, and what they mean - but if one is around their
creature long enough, they may be able to decipher some of the sounds - such as "snapping of the jaws" -
creating a greater "clack" noise - is usually a sound of "hey, back off".. etc.
Special Care Needs: As babies, they have a hard time swimming ... Yes.. even this aquatic creature has a
hard time swimming, so providing it with many places near the surface of it's pool to rest is a good idea..
after all, the Neptica breath air, as many marine mammals do - and you don't want your creature drowning
on you!
Biology and Anatomy: These creatures are completely blind - but make up for it by using advanced
echolocation... They can see things that even an eye cannot, and can find hidden objects even beneth a
layer of 6 inches of sand!
Behavioral Study: They live in medium social groups - and need their family members (which, if you raise
one, may very well be you!) - and tend to convert to.. unfriendly tendancies, if their family is not a loving one..
So, if you leave your Neptica lonely, it will be bound to get agressive. Playful, and brash - these creatures
love to come right up to something that interests them, reguardless of the danger.. In addition to which,
often times, if there -is- a danger (such as a pliathor - great enemy of the Neptica), they will often gather in
groups to drive away their foe - just like a flock of sparrows vs. a hawk.
Suggested Uses: These make what seems to be the perfect aquatic companion.. They come to the surface
frequently, they're intelligent, they're playful, they "need people", and ... they're just an all-together good
companion pet to have. They can even be trained to do amazing tricks!

| Breeds Available |
Striped: Striped is one of the fastest breeds, and can do amazing flips out of the water - spinning in
wonderful displays. They can grow to lenths of up to 6 feet.
Mottled: The mottled is the largest of the species.. though not huge in size, it is rumored to grow to lengths
of 8 feet - certainly longer than a man is tall. They can dive the deepest, and can survive in the coldest of
regions (in comparison to the other breeds), but that does not mean that they enjoy it at all.
Spotted: The Spotted breed is noted to be "the most playful" - though that's entirely opinion, and no doubt not
based on fact.. they are however, the breed to be most likely to swim right up to a group of strangers, if
anything, just to investigate. They usually grow to lengths of 4 feet.
