Some hybrids belong to earth or sky, but the Starlingray (Stellae manta) belongs to both — a celestial–aquatic wonder whose wings shimmer with constellations. Creature #17 of the Creaturepedia drifts as though it charts the heavens themselves, carrying a quiet majesty that has guided sailors and inspired myths for centuries.


Ancient mariners called them the “navigators of the deep,” believing their paths always pointed toward safe passage. In legend, Starlingrays ferry lost souls across horizons, their vast wings stitching together sky and sea with every graceful sweep. To see one rise through twilight is to glimpse the stars themselves reflected upon the waves.

💛 Traits & Care


  • Temperament: Serene, elusive, luminous

  • Sound: Deep resonant hums, like distant celestial bells

  • Favorite Pastimes: Gliding beneath starlight, spiraling in patterns of constellations, rising with the tide

  • Special Quirks:

    • Spirals in flight to mirror constellations

    • Vanishes entirely during meteor showers, said to join the stars

    • Leaves faint trails of phosphorescence in its wake


Care Tip: Starlingrays cannot be confined — they thrive only at horizons where sea and sky meet. To glimpse one is to be reminded that every journey carries its guiding light.


🧩 Collectability


As the seventeenth entry in the Creaturepedia, the Starlingray is revered as Bearer of the Star Map. Collectors prize it as a living constellation, a reminder that some guides cannot be charted by compass alone, but only by trust in the light that leads us forward.


🌟 Final Note


The Starlingray is more than a myth of sea or sky — it is a bridge between them. In its quiet arcs through twilight waters, it teaches that even in the vast unknown, there is always a star to follow.
