Cuero

The cuero is a stunning but dangerous creature that can be found in the warm waters of the coast. Holding much resemblance to a manta-ray there have been many cases that they’ve been mistaken as such, though there is one distinct feature most tend to miss. That feature is the golden glowing patterns that run along their underside, charged with 600 volts of electricity, practically like a bolt of lightning. To compliment their gorgeous but deadly pattern, their top half is glazed with a glossy and almost glittery golden hue.

Though the cuero are taken to be extremely dangerous it is known by many of the coast that they can actually be tamed, that is of course if you treat them with basic respect. Most deadly incidents caused by the cuero are due to mistreatment, which is why most are told that trying to hunt them can be difficult. Though when they are tamed and have put their trust into a group they could almost behave as a sort of aquatic attack/guard dog.

The cuero’s diet consists of many different things, fish, crustaceans, even geyserheads on occasion, but their most favorite are eels. Cuero and eels don’t tend to get along and it is easy to find large groups of both fighting each other. This phenomenon is called a “water brawl”. On the occasion that the cueros win, they will heavily feast on the losing eels. This is one of the reasons cuero hunt together, for simple benefit.
