Description
"Methane Crimson Angler"

The Greater Crimson Angler is the largest species of Floating Fish in Vapor Valley.

It is the larger of two species, 3 feet bigger than the Lesser Violet Angler, it's nearest relative.

These fish literally float, due to filling their air bladders with a form of methane that is much lighter than the air around them, giving them the ability to hunt and breed in the high canopy.

Their pectoral fins now act as rudders, and they have a long tail, brightened with a very poisonous sticky tail-crest.

Their skin no longer has scales, but instead is composed of slimy, amphibian-like texture.

It has extremely huge eyes, as it is a nocturnal hunter, and cleverly uses, not its own lure, but utilizes the glow-in-the-dark flowers of the Irredescent Honey Dew Bloom to attract prey in the shadowy realm of Vapor Valley.

Since Vapor Valley is just 9 miles away from Greyfern Ridge, it is a receiver of very moist air, which coagulates when it settles in this Coral Rain Forest valley.

In fact, it's the wettest place in all Gothalebra, with heavy rainfall 4 out of 7 days of the week.

But what really makes this place so moist all year round, is thermal vents that release hot water and steam.

When combined with the cool air, flowing in from Greyfern Ridge, it creates the super moist Vapor that Vapor Valley is known for.

Methane Anglers hunt by remaining very still, as they float effortlessly, like sinister little blimps, until they snap their gapping jaws shut over some creature foolish enough to bite its shiny lure.

The main prey of these air-born fish are small arboreal monkeys, Pink Night-Swift birds, and the huge Dragon Flies and Lace Wing Gnats that flood the night canopy of Vapor Valley.

The odd moisture in this valley is so thick, that the Floating Fish there, still have gills, and along with skin that absorbs oxygen, coagulant floating globs of foam form gelatinous bubbles that saturate the local wildlife's skin with additional hydration.
