It had the tail of a giant anglerfish, glowing faintly in the liquid, and the wings of a bat, each one thin and membranous, like the delicate skin of a moth. Its face was elongated and snouted, resembling that of a newt, its eyes wide and glassy, unfocused as it hovered in its suspended state.
"We've been working on creating animals that can survive in extreme climates, like the frigid waters of distant moons or the extreme dryness of Mars," Electra explained. "This one was engineered to traverse both land and sea and fly between them, using its bioelectric organs to generate a charge that can help it move through the atmosphere or manipulate its surroundings."
