Caranxocephaloarmatus scomberchromis is a species of Rotunducephalid Tartarosomnian amphibian from the South-eastern Irobian ocean and the Neygambian sea, more specifically found along the west coast of Zhem-Makhreq and south Outpost Island.   The animal lives in large shoals of up to sixty specimens, swimming close to each other and communicating verbally with the group, creating a distinctive chirping noise; this form of communication is used by the animal to convey emotions and to co-ordinate while swimming.   After long and detailed analysis were conducted on the changes in the chirps in relation to different external stimuli, it was concluded that the species uses different pitches and vocalizations to describe in detail both the environment or approaching creatures; this signalling method, in turn, helps the whole school to be aware of incoming obstacles or creatures and respond accordingly as a whole.   When threatened, C. scomberchromis circles the predator, using the lightly coloured skin to reflect the sunlight, they blind the attacker and run while it's still stunned.   The striping and distinct green colouration over the back are used to break down its silhouette and make it less visible.   Hunting in packs, the animal can prey on bigger animals than itself, using the same defensive strategy to blind prey, the specimens will take turns to bolt towards the tail of the prey and bite it, gradually lacerating skin and muscle and killing it by either bloodloss or asphyxiation.   Fishing boats departing from Zhem-Makhreq and Outpost Island often catch the animal while out fishing in the open sea.   C. scomberchromis can be cooked in fillets with herbs and spices directly on a grill or in a pan with just a little seed oil and accompanied with raw cook's rattle (preferably the female fruit).
