Field record
It rides a single depth band with a precision that has nothing to do with the terrain underneath, gliding over a canyon and a flat shelf at exactly the same distance from the surface. Wherever the seafloor drops away, the ray doesn't follow it down; whatever it's tracking, it isn't the bottom.
Marginal note: “holds the same depth to the foot no matter what's below it”

Catching it
A Twilight-tier catch needs at least a Fine Mesh Net— anything under that rating can never hold it, whatever the throw. Bought at the Quartermaster’s counter for 90 crystals. A held net inks this entry for good and pays its ledger bonus on the spot.
