Pungi Ray: Another of the tropical rays, the pungi is found only in relatively shallow bottoms.
The creatures conceal themselves in the sand, with their terrible back spines protruding.
These spines are greenish or brown, resembling plant growth so closely as to be 90% indistinguishable from normal seaweed.
Pungi rays are some 15' across and 6' or so long.
Their back spines are in an area of 3' by 4', with an average of 1 such spine
per square foot, or 12 spines altogether. The spines vary from 1' to 2' in
length. Any creature landing on a spine must save versus poison or be
killed instantly. A footstep upon a pungi ray will equal 1 attack; if a human
fell across a pungi ray he would suffer from 2-8 spine attacks. If a pungi
ray is attacked it will try to escape by flight.
