Painted Rays have venomous spines along their necks that they use primarily for defense. These spines grow in as they mature and are only potent once they reach adulthood. The venom won't kill anything bigger than them, but it'll make whatever is stung sick long enough for them to make their escape. The spines detach easily and will regrow fully within just a few weeks. Their tails they use like whips to stun small fish. Babies can eat fish right out of the egg, but might need it to be torn into
