Pantserhaai

A large and powerful predator that lives in small groups and fiercely defends its hunting grounds.

1 Thickly-armored Exoskeleton

Suggests defensive adaptation either to larger predators, or in-species aggression. Marked similarity to the segmented exoskeleton of the sand shark, suggesting a relatively recent common ancestor.

2 Large Eyeballs

Consistent with high light sensitivity, likely for hunting of luminescent prey in low-light environments.

Generally slow and unresponsive as a means of energy conservation, they will act with uncompromising speed and aggression against any threat to their territory.
