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 they traditionally have red skin, Aerophibians can come in other colors. For example, Benjamin Franklin's Jetray has blue skin.

Powers and abilities
Aerophibians are capable of flying at the speed of sound. They can maneuver through the air with little to no flapping and accelerate to speeds greater than light with ease.

Aerophibians can fire powerful green laser-like "neuroshock" blasts from their eyes that are mostly used as methods in both hunting prey and self-defense. These blasts are powerful enough to cause pain to Pyronites, Vaxasaurians, Sonorosians, Amperi, and hybrid Terroranchulas.

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

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

Aerophibians possess enhanced strength, allowing them to carry Human children on their backs. This strength extends to their prehensile feet and tail, as they can carry a Vaxasaurian at base height without being weighed down.

Aerophibians are immune to electricity, such as that generated by Amperi. They are also heat resistant, being able to withstand the radioactive blasts of a Prypiatosian-B.

Aerophibians can enter hyperspace and land their two feet perfectly once they are finished flying.

Aerophibians can use their neuroshock blasts to generate fire, enough to trap their prey.

Omni-Kix Aerophibians can use their metallic wings as melee weapons.

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. Their neuroshock blasts can also be absorbed by either a Prypiatosian-B or an Insectoid's plasma balls.

Aerophibians can be trapped in an Arachnichimp's webbing.

Aerophibians are unable to fly in Ledgerdomain because its skies are unparallel to that of a conventional planet's. In general, young Aerophibians may have trouble flying straight at their age as older Aerophibians have no difficulty doing so.

Despite their enhanced durability, Aerophibians can still feel pain from being shot at. Similarly, hybrid Aerophibians can be harmed by a Prypiatosian-B's radioactive blasts.

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

Aerophibians can be easily overpowered by a Galilean's gravity powers or a Celestialsapien's telekinesis.

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.
