"That, my friend, is an Spiny Armored Starshark. Oddly enough, it isn't related to crustaceans or sharks in the least! Convergent evolution at its finest." The starshark looks back at Able, its eye having a large bewildered-looking pupil, unsure as to what you are.
Sarah smiles and waves to the starshark.
"Wowzers. It's fascinating." He puts his hand fully against the window. "Is it dangerous?"

"While we're inside here, the answer's no. If we go out... I don't know." The creature continues to swim near the sub for a while, before losing interest and swimming slowly away and into the distant purplish fog of the astral fluid.

"I see... very cool." He watches it until he can't see it anymore, then looks at Sarah. "It really was!" Then he turns to JD again. "Hey, question that I just thought of: Are there any sentient creatures out here?"

Jd shrugs. "If there are any, which there probably are, then we haven't found 'em yet." He puts his hand on his chin, thinking. "There are a lot of things we've found out here that are pretty smart, though. Like, it's kinda freaky how clever some of these creatures are, but they aren't the society-building kind of smart."

"I have a feeling there's some clever big buggers out there. A lot of the things we've been finding out here tend to be bigger than their lookalikes on the Material. Much bigger, in some cases."
There is a sound in the distance: A deep, reverberating call that echoes from far ahead of the Corydoras within the semi-translucent sea. JD smiles as a large dark silhouette of a whale-like creature emerges from the fog.
"I didn't think we'd see one of these today... normally they don't travel this close to the kelp forests."

JD smiles. "Well, these big guys aren't any harm, so you can head out and get a closer look if you want. Besides, I don't think you'll wanna miss this."
As the creature swims closer, its features become more visible. It is mostly whale-like in appearance, with some more... obvious differences.
In addition to its two paddle-like fins, the whale(?) has jet-propulsion siphons similar to what one would find on a cephalopod, helping thrust the creature forward while its fins steer the animal's trajectory. Where its tail fin would be, there instead is several meters-long tentacles that trail behind the creature. As it swims by the submersible and gets a closer look, the two of you notice its thick blubbery skin subtly changing in hue and texture: Not enough to obscure the creature in the least, but enough to signal that it may be attempting to communicate with something.
