Aerophibian

Aerophibians are a species of manta ray-like aliens from the oceanic planet Aeropela.

Anatomy
Aerophibians are humanoid manta rays with yellow or orange horns that are connected to their mouths, lizard-like tails, and membranous wings that are yellow in the front and either red or yellow in the back. Their hips have markings that resemble gills, and they have a black zigzag pattern around their upper torso that sometimes has a yellow outline.

Although Aerophibians traditionally have red skin, blue-skinned Aerophibians also exist.

Powers and abilities
Aerophibians are capable of flying at the speed of sound. They are highly adaptable, being able to breath underwater and survive in the vacuum of space. Therefore, they are considered to be an all-terrain species.

Aerophibians can fire powerful green laser-like "neuroshock" blasts from their eyes that can cause pain to Pyronites, Vaxasaurians, and Amperi and destroy Sonorosian clones. This ability is mostly used to hunt prey and as self-defense.

Aerophibians are durable enough to withstand being shot at by a fighter jet. For Omni-Kix Aerophibians, their natural durability is increased thanks to their Omni-Kix armor.

In addition to their eyes, Aerophibians can fire neuroshock blasts from their tail, and can charge their atatcks in a way that leaves a glowing green trail while flying.

Aerophibians possess enhanced strength, which extends to their prehensile feet and tail.

Weaknesses
An Aerophibian's eyesight is very limited, meaning they can only see things properly if they are very close to them.

Aerophibians can be accidentally harmed by their own neuroshock blasts if they are deflected back at them by a mirror.

Young Aerophibians may have trouble flying straight at their age, but older Aerophibians have no difficulty doing so.

Despite their enhanced speed, Aeropbibians are not as fast as Kinecelerans on the ground.

History
The Aerophibians build cities inside the spiral rocks on Aeropela. In prehistoric times, Aerophibians used their neuroshock blasts to hunt prey. Today, they mostly use these blasts for self-defense.
