Flicker

Backstory File: “The Flicker is surprisingly agile for its size, capable of quick bursts of speed that allow it to evade predators. Observations show that it uses a unique undulating motion to propel itself forward, combined with the ability to make sharp turns in mid-water. We’ve seen it react to environmental stimuli, suggesting a highly developed nervous system. Initial feeding trials show it targeting small planktonic organisms, which it captures with its rapid movements. It appears to be a voracious feeder, a characteristic we will monitor closely.” – Dr. Ethan Blackwood, Larval Behavior Study
