Spectrals (or otherwise known as 'Rainbows' for their brilliantly hued bodies) are a rather rare breed of Sauropsida which generally prefer spacious habitats for running long distances. Spectrals are often considered living rainbows and are certainly a feast for the eyes to any lucky spectator who can manage to see one. In truth, the vivid colours on their bodies is a defense mechanism that is quite the opposite from camouflage. Instead of attempting to hide from their predators, Spectrals make themselves so visible and glorious that the hunter will often turn away to find something less precious looking to eat.

Spectrals are highly social creatures with cheerful attitudes. There is an extreme lack of weaponry on their bodies, for the majority of their features are all little attempts at saying “Hello, I’m friendly!” The most dominating of these features are the quadruple fins around their necks and the inverted rainbow heycorns on their backsides. Their eyes are also a bright, vivid aqua and seem to have a perpetual serene look to them. Spectrals love to pose, charm, sing and dance their way into the social sphere and utilize many of these social acts as a way to find their own kind. Each Spectral has its own unique call, for their mouths can create nearly any sound ranging from frog-croaks to raptor-screams. Despite all of these fine abilities, Spectrals are not commonly found in herds until the breeding seasons. Even then, it is the females’ duty to wean the children while the male leaves to resume his lively duties as a pretty creature.
