My point, Wrana, is that this is about suggestions for a game based on mythology and imagination, so whether or not rays are the vicous scourge of the ocean, or nature's equivalent of the Care Bear, doesn't really have any bearing on the conversation. They look cool. They could potentially kill a man-(and so could a donkey! Ever heard the expression, "kicks like a mule"? That's because those animals tend to kick people, and the people kicked have a habit of dying) That's all that's required of them.

To give you an example of how it works: An ostrich is a potentially more vicious and dangerous animal than a tarantula, but you don't see Machaka riding around on gigantic ostriches, do you?
