-instantly vaporizes entire city block- Waiter! There's a locked thread in my soup! "Large" is an understatement!

@Panel, I think your right. Focusing the light of bio-luminescence through the lens would be a more acceptable option. I'm going to edit the post now, I'll make sure to credit you.

Hmm, well I guess storing light is pretty hard, if not impossible. I'm going to have to sleep on this.

@Panel and @PB666, what about a structure within the cell that is a sphere with a tiny hole with a flap. The light travels there, and then the light is caught in a near perfectly reflective surface inside the sphere. The flap would close and open on demand, so if a predetor attacks it would beam the light into the lens. The light inside this "spherical one-sided mirror" would eventually decay into heat, but it would be an efficient way to capture it.

Granted, but every time you do so, someone dies. I wish that I could overcome my "shoving animals in vending machines" addiction.

What ever you do, do NOT provoke it. You have no idea what that thing could do! Waiter! There's an Olympian Whale in my soup! (read the post to get the memo)

This is an extension of the life on Notogertasi. If you have no idea what im talking about, click here and scroll about 3/4 the way down. The marshy, storm laden land masses that make up 17% of the surface are home to lots of odd creatures, but what about the other 83% of endless ocean? The water is about 90 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, making it a little more warm than humans are used to. The ocean is deep as well, the average depth being 30,000 ft, or almost the average depth of Challenger Deep. The best part about this is that some parts are even deeper, reaching about 56,000 ft below sea level! This massive depth directly constitutes to massive depth pressure, which leads to an odd phenomenon; The water at these depths is so compressed, the water acts like ice while still being at a mild temperature. And yet, life still thrives in this briny deep... The Olympus Whale is a massive sea creature that lives in the northern oceans of Notogertasi. Weighing in at 573 tons! at a length of 392 ft, the Olympus Whale is truly the king of the sea. Along with being an absolute behemoth, It also looks like It would come straight out of your worst nightmares. Think of a giant, deformed lamprey without teeth. It's oddly shaped body is laden with 40 fins, all aligned in 4x radial symmetry along it's 392 ft in length. Four large 'tails' allow movement by spinning around like a propeller. (much slower than a mechanical one, mind you) You might be asking 'how does it sustain itself?' The simple answer is it swallows anything and everything in its path. Plankton, fish, submarines, It doesn't matter to the Olympus Whale, as long as it fits in it's mouth. It lives at an average depth of 25,000ft below sea level, but will ascend if food is becoming scarce. It uses sonar to communicate and navigate, and lives for about 109 years, becoming sexually mature at 4 years old. Just imagine how...no, no I'm stopping here. The next creature is the main morsel to the Olympus Whale; Amorians. This lil' fishy is 9 ft long and weighs 150 lbs. It has 4 fins, all in the 4x symmetry most sea animals on Notogertasi have. Most of the mass is in the front; the tail makes up 60% of it's length. It's a scavenger, catching carcasses that happen to be floating down into the darkness below. They swim in huge masses, and can get up to 600 individuals in a shoal. They can be found all over the ocean, even on the surface if food is scarce. Before they reach sexual maturity at 2 years old, the Amorians go into a month long feeding frenzy, During this month, they can gain 90 pounds and eat 2 times their body weight a day; sometimes going as far as attacking live prey and cannibalism. In some cases, this gets so intense that entire shoals will attack Olympus Whales and rip them apart alive. But why the violence? You see, in an Amorian's mind, the larger or fatter an individual is, the likeliness of getting a mate rises. The more colorful males, now bloated by all the feeding, search for "attractive" females to mate with and pass on the good genes. Fresnel's Shark is the next creature on the list. It's about the size of a Blacktip Reef Shark and weighs about 80 pounds. Unlike most of the creatures on Notogertasi, the ones close to the surface have developed eyes along with sonar. Fresnel's Shark uses this to advantage to escape prey, in fact. It is very round, and actually looks akin to a mini Orca with black skin all over. Anyway, It's skin cell are specifically designed to capture light with a Fresnel Lens structure. After it has captured light, a "shutter" on the outer layer of the skin cells folds out and prevents the light from escaping. When it feels it's in danger, The Fresnel's Sharks' skin cell shutters open and release a flash of light, effectively blinding the attacker. From my Make an Alien Thread
