Sea Rex

The pelagans’ arch rivals were the tortorncas, massive heavy-jawed predator burdles which fed on the same prey they relied upon. Living alone and without packs to support, they were marginally better adapted to cruise the open oceans in pursuit of the fragmented herds of filter-feeding dolfinches than the clans of daydreamers were, but in turn required more food than any one daydreamer to support a larger body size. There was no sea hunter of any kind larger, in fact, than the sea rex - a superpredator tortornca that grew to more than fifty feet long, and one able to eat enough meat to feed a whole family of daydreamers for weeks in a single sitting. The pinnacle of marine megafauna hunters, the sea rex had ruled the oceans for more than five million years virtually unchanged and so pre-dated the daydreamers.
