Skyrays are characterized by their large wingspan and whip-like tails. The skyrays are very graceful fliers appearing to almost swim through the air as they fly. The sky ray possesses three small claws along the underside of their body with which they grip to cliff sides. They travel in pods of 6-15 individuals and fly in very intricate patterns within the group.
Sky Rays are large airborne creatures that glide on air currents high above the Cadmian steppes.
Skyrays filter feed on vegetation, pollen, and seeds that float in the sky. The large prongs along the sides of the head help guide food into their mouth. They can be found floating on wind currents as air is filtered through their mouths.
Skyrays use a communal breeding technique in which females will lay clusters of eggs in groups along cliff sides. The eggs are extremely sticky and will remain anchored for 3 weeks. In that time, visiting males will fertilize the eggs. Once eggs are fertilized, they take 2 weeks to gestate. Newborn sky rays are only about 2 inches big and are essentially taken up into the lower atmosphere by strong summer winds. There, they will grow into adults and eventually descend into the lower skies.
A large gas sac on their head that can be filled or emptied with low density gas that helps them maintain their position in different layers of the atmosphere along with their broad wings.
