Piscciss Volann

Pisccis Volann are an extraterrestrial species of amphibian fish from the water planet Piscciss (a play on "pisces", Latin for fish). The water world of Piscciss is one of extreme danger. Pisccis is one giant ocean, home to thousands of exotic species, including Pisccis Volann and Piscciss Premann, live in a vast anarchic ocean of eat or be eaten. While most Pisccians live in schools because of the safety in numbers, there are still few feelings of family or friendship among these cold-blooded kinfolk. Others however live in giant cities build in the shallow waters around the few volcanic islands that Pisccis has. A world of strong currents and highly stratified environments, and where the creatures get all the more dangerous as the depth increases. Wild Pisccis Volanns live in extremely deep parts of Piscciss and shoot up to the surface to feed.

Volanns are not the biggest fish in the Pisccian Sea, but are definitely the most dangerous. With their powerful tails and slimy scales, Volanns are capable of incredible speed and agility in the water. Volanns can also withstand a remarkable amount of pressure, while continuing to breathe through their gills and their luminescent danglers allow them to see in the darkest of depths. Volanns are able to breathe air, but they must keep their gills wet or they'll dehydrate rapidly, which can actually result in their drowning on dry land.

Abilities
Piscciss Volanns are the most hazardous creatures in the Pisccissian sea. They are a monstrous hybrid of alligator, eel, angler fish, shark, and leech. Volanns are incredible swimmers who are amazingly fast and agile in the water. A Volanns' huge mouth filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth can chomp through almost anything. Their lower jaw unhinges, enabling them to grip large objects with the strength on an industrial-sized vise. Sinewy and covered in slimy scales, Volanns use their claw-tipped fins to fight in a unique "zero gravity" style that makes them masters of aquatic combat. They can dive deep to the oceans floor, easily withstanding the crushing pressure while continuing to breathe through their gills. For all their skill in the water, though Piscciss Volanns are able to walk on land they are not nearly as uselful on land as they are under the waves. Volanns must keep their gills wet or they dehydrate rapidly, which can actually result in their drowning on dry land. Volanns will gain the ability to breath on land as they mature.

Appearance
Their appearance shows them to have multiple gills and an antenna on their head for deep sea diving, their teeth are external and they have an even more powerful jaw that can bite through strong metal. Also, their bodies are covered in protective scales and claws on their appendages. It appears that as a Piscciss Volann matures, they grow legs to aid in land movement. This is most likely an adaptation so that they can hunt more efficiently when food is limited in the water. But as a Piscciss Volann grows older, the need for water will decrease, making them amphibous. When Piscciss Volanns mature their appearance will change.

Weaknesses
Their weakness is that they cannot stay on land for too long so if a Pisccis Volann wanted to stay longer on land, it would require water to keep them from dehydrating. If they don't get water while on the land, they will run out of breath and possibly die. In Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix, a Piscciss Volann was wearing a unique device around its neck that supplied water for its gills allowing it to walk on dry land without dehydrating. It was probably given to it by the prison officials.
