Description

They live around the warm costal areas to hunt for food such as soft shelled ammonites, small to large crustaceans, herring, and sardines, and to mate during spring. They have sensitive hearing that can even hear the faintest sounds over 30 miles away such as boats, prey, and even other gigantic predators, they're also air breathers so they come up to the surface every 150 hours because they have 6 lungs that can carry large amounts of oxygen and produce gas into their swimming blubbers to provide balance while swimming in the ocean, they can dive 200 feet deep in the depths to rest for 2 whole weeks without needing any food or going back up to the surface. They're not known to harm people or other mammals, and they travel in large pods.


Common barredon: They swim diagonally using their necks and robust tail, they don't go very fast as the Lesser barredon but are still able to catch prey by quickly catching the nearest one using its 3 rows of sharp teeth and tears it to shreds then eats the bits and some bone or shell pieces. They enjoy strong storms and rain by poking their heads out, it's whiskers are used to sense hidden prey and strong movements, if its a predator it will quickly hide under coral beds and using its skin texture and color changing ability, once the coast is clear, it goes back to its normal self and carries on.    


Greater barredon: One of the largest creature with the longest, slender like neck that makes it very vulnerable towards other predators but has a powerful bite with long serrated teeth that can easily pierce through tough skin, it uses its giant flippers to create strong currents to confuse its prey before swallowing them one by one. It has a very strong echo location detecting anything that's far away from it, if it spots a larger predator it will use dive very quickly either taking cover in the dark trench or flips on its back and covers itself with large amounts of sand by using its flippers and tail to blend in, rarely most of them accidently get attacked and survive from death, it can carry over 1,000 passengers on it's back and travel all over the globe under 2 days while going at 60 miles.

Lesser barredon: It's powerful sucking ability can easily suck up the heaviest prey there is while its throat sack with holes filters out the seawater and small bristle like hairs blocking out sand, the sack is very durable and stores a lot of food for traveling out on the open ocean, it also eats sea grass and seaweed , it can survive cool temperatures where prey are most likely to be more common than warm temperatures. Its dorsal fin is used to control directions while swimming and makes tight U turns. It swims at least 30 miles an hour, some times quickly jets away if spooked by something.
