Zaoalena

"Once they've locked onto something that they think is prey, they wait until it draws nearer, and nearer, and all of a sudden, ZAP!"

- David Aguilar explains how Zaoalenas hunt.

Zaoalenas are crustacean creatures native to the oceans of the icy moon Arnabus, orbiting the gas giant Anear G. They are the second creature to be introduced their.

Biology
Zaoalenas are spider-like crabs with four legs, and have bizarre electrical abilities. Because of their lack of eyes or ears, these creatures sense their environment through electrical senses like electroreception, and use an electrical attack to kill their prey, using a tentacle-like tongue (which is unseen) to consume it.

Trivia
