The Aurorafin, having braved the trial by blood and fire of the supervolcano, has proceeded to diversify further as an agile predator with dramatic efficiency. The characteristic bio-luminescent fins are still present, but accompanied by an ever-improving streamlined tail, using both lateral and vertical motion to propel the creature through the varied waters of it's home. It is present in shallow, continental plain and pelagic environments, widely dispersed around most Southern ocean basins. It shows extreme size variation depending on food availability and local population size. Rare giants reach over 2m long, and are lords over their domain, while the more modest size of 2ft is most common. Even smaller adult individuals down to 10 inches are possible, forming baitball swarms to survive against their larger brethren. Spawning takes place at the highest tides, where the eggs will be carried onto the wet beach sands to incubate under the sun, and be carried out as tiny larvae to brave the seas at the next high tide.
