diet: omnivorous; but they prefer fish and fish eggs
mode of reproduction: oviparous
abilities:
- skin coloration: just like chameleons, they're able to vary their coloration and pattern through combinations of pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, light blue, yellow, turquoise, and purple, depending on their surroundings or if they are in danger.
brighter, more flamboyant colors show aggression, while dull and darker colors show submission

- poisonous bite: they have small, but sharp teeth with long front fangs that inject poison into their victim's body
- invisibility: they can make themselves 'invisible', by reflecting the water's surface and making themselves appear transparent
biological abilities:
Akvatiske change mates every year, in order to spread and mix their genes. they can live in big, polyamorous relationships in which everyone mates with everyone; same sex couples are quite common.
they lay around 5 to 10 eggs, after one month of pregnancy, which they leave immediately after laying. small Akvatiskes, as soon as hatched, scavenge for food until they're old enough to hunt. average Akvatiske takes around three weeks to hatch.
life mates are rare, but there are some individuals that like to settle with one mate for the rest of their life, and breed with them every year, once or twice.
