A second species quite attached to the DOS are the Benthians, a rather odd species of fish, some research concludes that they are in a midstate of a hyperevolutionary period, due to drastically change in another decade or so; in any case they are a toxic species, with even their flesh itself being filled with toxins, making them terrible food to all but the DOS. They are a larger species, averaging about 5 meters in length and a predatory species as well. Generally schools of Benthians are warded by the larger and older DOS as they need a level of protection against the species which they hunt, including at rare times the HER. Due to their poisonous status, they can hunt freely, and rarely worry about being attacked themselves, aside from retaliatory attacks. Of their abilities, their are quite a few that utilize their venom, they can drip or spray toxin from their honed teeth, project quills into their prey, and even, in the right circumstances, detach parts of their body, which the enemy will ingest toxins from through filter feeding. In these ways they are able to take down even larger species of fish and Seebolit without worry.
