Name: Nimbus Ray

Habitat: Nimbus rays can be found in both the skies and the oceans of the world of Ransera, often preferring to live near the border of the two elements.

Rarity: Nimbus rays are rare creatures, and their ability to traverse both water and air make them potentially agile mounts.

Threat: While they are generally peaceful creatures, Nimbus rays can become aggressive if they feel threatened or provoked.

Description: The Nimbus ray is a large creature that looks like a cyclopic stingray. It has a single eye that takes up most of its face, and two large fins that allow it to fly through the air. Its body is covered in scales that can change color depending on its surroundings, making it difficult to spot in both the ocean and the sky.

Biome Role: Nimbus rays play an important role in both the ocean and the sky, acting as predators and prey for a variety of creatures in both environments.

Aging & Reproduction: Nimbus rays live for several decades, and reproduce by laying eggs in shallow waters near the coast.

Size: Nimbus rays can grow up to 30 feet in length, and have a wingspan of over 50 feet.

Abilities and Features: Nimbus rays are unique creatures due to their dual elemental nature, possessing both water and wind magic. They are powerful swimmers and can move through the water with ease, using their large fins to propel themselves forward. In the air, they are incredibly fast and agile, able to dodge attacks and outmaneuver their opponents. Their stinger is also coated with a potent venom that causes torpor strong enough to make an adult dragon drowsy. Furthermore their color shifting scales allow them to adequately avoid unwanted confrontation from all but the keenest eyes.

Cultural Significance (If applicable): An enigmatic and relatively unknown species, only the rarest rumors from the occasional sailor traveling south of the solunarium ever cross the winds.

Reasons to interact: Nimbus rays are highly sought after as mounts due to their ability to travel both through the air and underwater. They are also hunted for their venom, which is used in various medicinal and magical remedies.

Recommended Stats for interaction: High agility, speed, and endurance are recommended for riding Nimbus rays. Additionally, characters should have some proficiency in either water or wind magic to effectively interact with these creatures.

My only feedback is in the Cultural Significance portion. These being for South Ecith wouldn't be part of any known cultures, for none are currently found in the regions of South or Central Ecith. Nearly all of the creatures and flora of South Ecith are unknown about except by those of the Exhibition. This would also apply to the phrase "Highly sought after". Everything else, including the traits it has and such are all approved, it merely needs the perspective adjusted as it is not a known entity.
