Sonar Surge
Emits a powerful sound wave that disorients and damages nearby enemies.
From the DolphinReal-world basis: Similar to echolocation, this ability uses sound waves to create a disruptive pressure wave.
Spine Strike
Launches sharp spines from its back at high velocity towards an adversary.
From the EchidnaReal-world basis: Mimicking the echidna's spines, this attack utilizes muscle contractions to propel spines as projectiles.
Aqua Shield
Forms a protective barrier of water around itself, reducing incoming damage.
From the DolphinReal-world basis: This ability harnesses water manipulation similar to how dolphins create bubbles, forming a shield that absorbs impacts.
Spiny Armor
Releases a defensive stance where its spines become rigid, deterring attackers.
From the EchidnaReal-world basis: This defensive mode is inspired by echidnas, which use their spines to protect themselves from predators.
