Drift Rays Drift Rays are the air swarm. Manta-shaped gliders with a 4 to 5 meter span, oily black with pulsing teal-green edges, that circle over a battlefield at mech-head height in flocks of 20 to 40. They glide on thermals without flapping, so they make no sound. A pilot usually notices them when the first one hits the visor. What they are Flat, diamond-shaped bodies of membrane, a single large glowing eye on the underside, and a long barbed tail. Spawn, not kaiju. They travel with the big ones or come up with them, and on their own they're barely a threat. How they fight Together. Drift Rays dive in coordinated strafing runs, whipping their barbed tails across mech joints and sensor arrays, and they go for the visor strips and sensors first. Each one discharges a weak bioelectric shock on contact. One is nothing. Twenty at once can stagger a mech, and a staggered mech in a kaiju fight doesn't stay standing for long. Specs Type: Spawn, air swarm Span: 4 to 5 meters Numbers: 20 to 40 per flock Glow: Teal-green
