Lebtin Javelin Fish

A Lebtin javelin fish is an aquatic creature that is well known to, though not often seen by, the Andalites. It looks like a vast, bright yellow stingray, mostly flat and oblong with two stalk-mounted eyes and two trailing antennae on its underside. It has a row of about twenty spears all along the top of its wings, which it uses to fire at predators or prey. The spears are as long and as thick as a broom with irregular striping; yellow and green with bits of blue. It shoots the spears from its mouth by first rolling a spear into a flap and then swelling up with water, like a pufferfish, and suddenly ejecting the water out to create momentum for the spear. Visser Three morphs this aquatic beast in Book #12: The Reaction.
