Moha-moha

Miss Selina Lovell's first report spelt the creature moka moka, but in her second it was moha moha (probably is onomatopoeia). This scientific name means "Miss Lovell's tortoise-lizard"

The Moha-Moha had a turtle face with teeth or serrated jawbones. The skin was glossy and smooth as satin, brown-colored with a peach belly. It had its mouth open and visible above the water and no visible nostrils (probably covered with prehensile nostrils much like whales or crocodiles), leading Lovell to conclude that it breathed through its mouth (incorrectly, like a river turtle, it only breathes through the rectum via a special organ near the rectum).

The rounded jaws of Moha-moha were 18 inches long. The head and neck were a greenish white with white spots on the neck and a white band around a very auburn eye. The dome-shaped carapace, which resembles leatherbacks and is about 8 feet across by 5 feet high, was slate-grey to brown-chocolate in color and smooth. The long tail was brown, shading to white, with a chocolate-brown fin. The skin lay perpendicular to the tail, like the tiles of a roof. The head and tail were very different from each other, looking like they had come from two different animals. Lovell was unable to see the feet, but she was told that the Moha-Moha had feet like a terrapin.

Moha-Moha breathes water with cnidocytes from fire corals, which are harmful everywhere except Moha-Moha due to their particular mouth parts, similar to leatherback sea turtles that feed on jellyfish. Unlike leatherbacks, which can die from plastic, moha-moha suffer from plastic-induced nausea and mistake these plastic bags for jellyfish or fire corals; an estimated one-third of adults have ingested plastic that has disintegrated into nothing and causes nausea in moha-moha, but spitting chemical mucus causes nausea.

Skills

• Eww, Cnidocytes (First Skill): Moha-Moha breathes water with pollution, and cnidocytes deal poison.

• Backward Jump (Second Skill): Moha-Moha thumps in designated target survivors in direction, making enemies knock out airborne in 1 second.

• Spin Like a Round Globe (Third Skill): Moha-Moha spins itself and deals damage to enemies nearby; if an enemy hit is already airborne, they will be knocked up airborne again for an additional 6 times.

• Execution Acquired (Ultimate Skill): Moha-Moha, hiding itself as an island as the aspidochelone, gains sight of any hidden enemies, locks onto the nearest enemy hero, and fires four fatal cnidocyte water deals horrified, allergic, splashed, and polluted.

• Great Barrier's Benediction (Passive Skill): Moha-Moha heals itself in the river or aquatic relates, gains regeneration, and gains defense near the obstacles.

It is unknown what the feeding habits of a Moha-moha are, like most other Elder Dragons and some Terran Guardians, so it is hard to say where it fits in the ecological niche. Recently, it was discovered that young Moha-moha only have one known predator: humans, dingoes, thylacines, crocodiles, pythons, madtsoiids, eagles, and even the mighty Megalania. These predators in Australia are believed to also become enemies of adult Moha-moha, Aboriginals, and Australian Europeans and Asians (from Arabs to Torres Islanders).

Moha-Moha is a gentle and protective animal in their home; some males are actually territorial, but the female was caring for her eggs when her mate left for hunting.

Moha-moha was located in the Great Barrier Reef as an endemic species of Australia.
