Camauth

Camauths are Natura Oceans Malerceans that inhabit the open seas of Mareala, always in the company of a leading Bigmauch.

They are rounded blue creatures covered with lumps all across their bodies. They have two small fins at their sides, a larger back fin, and a large mouth equipped with numerous sharp fangs.

Camauths reside in groups comprising 9 to 14 members, each group under the guidance of a Bigmauch leader.

Their primary pursuit involves hunting Balleys, executing attacks by biting and immobilizing the Balleys' fins and tail. The leader Bigmauch then delivers the decisive blow.

Displaying an exceedingly aggressive demeanor toward perceived threats, they remain loyal and subservient to their leader Bigmauch in all situations.

While capable of consuming smaller prey when hungry, they display a preference for hunting Balleys and avoid alternative sources of food whenever possible.

Repeated reproduction between Camauths and their respective Bigmauch leaders has led to deformities (manifested as their characteristic body lumps) in the offspring of both species over time.

The origins of the relationship between Camauths and Bigmauchs remain shrouded in mystery.

Camauths communicate within their species by generating vibrations through the grinding of their teeth. These vibrations convey messages and signals that are understood by other Camauths.

The corpses of Camauths exhibit a peculiar fertility, contributing to the growth of underwater vegetation in the areas they inhabit. Their remains aid in fostering the growth and sustenance of aquatic flora.

They are widely deemed as sea pests, Camauths are unwelcome entities across various regions worldwide.
