User:Emptylord/Custom creatures/Xiphactinus

If Megapiranha are the Dimorphodons of the sea (and they should be tameable, as their dossier implies), then Xiphactinus are the Hyaenodon. Too small to ride, Xiphactinus instead function to accompany a caravan or supplement a platoon.

Xiphactinus, as with Krill, function to bulk up population within the ocean as well as providing something in the middle of the food chain for bigger creatures to eat (short of just having to eat other big creatures).

Basic Info
Ugly.
 * Appearance

Xiphactinus spawn in groups of 5 that actively follow one another, similar to the Allosaurus. Schools will merge with each other if they move nearby, but there's no apparent leader - instead behaving with a kind of swarm intelligence.
 * Encounter

Their attacks restore health proportional to their damage, allowing them to sustain in fights longer without intervention.
