The body shocker split from its ancestor. It has slightly increased in size and has changed its diet from the diamiboard and the organisms living on it to the gilltails, gillfins, swarmers, and urchips which live on the coasts. It has one major adaptation; it is able to produce an electric shock in its posterior. The fins on is back have morphed together into one large fringe, and each finlet is filled with an electrolyte-packed fluid, which channels the electricity from the electric generators on its back. This allows it to produce an electric-field which paralyzes any prey that come to close, and help it escape from predators such as the trapins and the lancerid. However, it needs to charge up between each blast. When it is waiting to recharge, or there are no "moving" prey around, it will use its now stronger prong-teeth to scrape the microscopic flash flora off rocks; the outer-layer of crystal flora; or iron plant "bark". Depending on the habitat, it has different spot colors as well as the original purple; on the Glicker Coasts it has green spots for the crystal flora, and red spots on the Wright Coast for the rusty soil. In the middle of summer body shockers from all regions congregate to the Jujubee Ocean to find mates, the males do so by displaying different patterns of electric flashes and the females select the most impressive displays.
