Description 1 : Icthyosuchus mimica is part of the crocodilians. It is in a highly derived subfamily of crocs called icthyosuchia. They have evolved from creatures such as metriorynchus. The family is named so as they resemble icthyosaurs in many ways. This species is a streamlined hunter that is found in the warm tropical oceans of the equator. They mainly hunt large fish but will sometimes hunt marine mammals and reptiles. They get to 5 meters long and 500 kg. They are quite rare due to competition from mosasaurs, large fish such as marlins and marine mammals such as dolphins.

2 : Crustaceadens aigialus is a bottom feeder found in the brackish waters of aigial. They eat mainly crustaceans and other invertebrates but are known to cannibalise each other. They have specialised teeth for cracking the tough shells of their prey. The animal grows to 4 meters long and weighs about 200-400 kg. They are quite aggressive towards humans and there are many cases of attacks against swimmers.
