特殊能力

Body Inflator

Swellsharks can inflate their bodies with water because of elastic skin that helps them appear larger and wedge into crevices, deterring predators.

能力

Glowing Skin

Swellsharks have skin that glows green because of special proteins that help them communicate with other swellsharks in the dark ocean depths.

能力

Night Vision Hunter

Swellsharks have large, reflective eyes that help them see very well in low light to hunt for food at night.
