Mantis Shrimp - Bullet Fist: The Peacock Mantis Shrimp is a stomatopod crustacean that appears to be an adorable little sea creature with a whimsical rainbow color scheme and goofy little eyes. At first glance, its main superpower seems to be the ability to be delicious with melted butter and a wedge of lemon.

However, over generations, the Mantis Shrimp has evolved to become the deadliest hunter in its weight class. Their eyes have 16 photoreceptors, enabling them to see UV light, polarised light and colors that humans cannot imagine, in addition to perceiving depth with one peeper while being able to move both eyes independently.
The Mantis Shrimp punches with the same acceleration of a .22 bullet, using claws that are so hard that researchers study them for combat purposes. This punching speed boils the water surrounding the Mantis Shrimp claw, which helps to easily break through crab shells and aquariums made of glass.
