Marine (Terralien subtype)
Rarity: Rare
Marines are water-based Terraliens with any sort of marine life present in their visor. They are unique in that their visors must be mostly or fully filled with water.
While marine Terraliens are found both in and out of water or pletium, they're typically identified by the organisms in their visor contained in liquid. Marine Terras commonly have scaly skin and fins, and unlike most Terras, have the ability to take in air through their sensors even when underwater. Like bug Terras, marines can display emotional responses through both their bioluminescence and the calls produced by their sensors. Their levels of bioluminescence can fluctuate depending on their emotions, such as allowing them to produce an effect comparable to blushing. As with all Terras their sensors are capable of producing a broad range of sounds, and the larger the Terra the deeper their call becomes. They can also create loud echoing croaks in order to locate and identify nearby resources when scouring the seas.
