===Bloat, Sea (Rainbow Blimpie)=== [[File:RainbowBlimpie_00.png|150px|thumb|Rainbow Blimpies]] A vibrant and beautiful specimen, the '''Rainbow Blimpie''' is an aerial herbivore found along the warm tropical waters on the coasts of the Equatorial Jungles. Rainbow males are possessed of bright and vivid skin in every colour imaginable. While poor at camouflage, this display is wonderful at grabbing attention of the ladies, and that's just what the males do with them. They are also aided by any plants they have on their back. Males are often seen floating through the jungle picking out brightly coloured flowers and plants, to advertise themselves all the more. A male with a beautiful bouquet is seen as a good bet, as to collect this garden, the male must be smart enough to avoid dangerous predators, ''not'' an easy task when one moves at the pace of a snail through predator-infested jungles with a technicolor dreamcoat. [[File:RainbowBlimpie_Scale.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Size Comparison to ''Homo sapiens'' male.]] Females on the other hand will select decidedly inconspicuous plants, all the better to blend into the jungle surroundings when she is tied to a single spot, guarding her nest (males are not present once mating has concluded). The nesting female will also select fruiting bodies, in order to feed herself without leaving her children unattended. It should be noted that, as a glorified hot-air balloon, should a predator come-a-calling, there is little that the mother Rainbow can do. Blimpies are not equipped with anything in the way of defense, though they will attempt to impotently bat the aggressor with their trunks. The mother can provide ''one'' service in the aid of her unhatched children: martyrdom. The mother, if accosted by a predator will inadvertently serve to fill the belly of the predator, and once full, will not be interested in the eggs. Such is the hope, at least, and so far it succeeds often enough for the Rainbow Blimpie to continue to thrive in its chosen habitat. When not looking for love, this slow-moving, chill creature can be seen dipping their trunks into the water to trawl for plankton and other organisms, though it can also digest macroscopic plants, even the ones on its back, though this is usually a sign of starvation or desperation, as those plants serve as camouflage or sexual display. ====Behind-the-scenes==== * The vibrant colours of the Rainbow Blimpie male was inspired by the brilliant scales of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrotfish parrotfish].
