Survival
The Maewa hunts its prey by directing a very bright cone of light towards the animal's eyes, rendering it blind. Then it attacks the prey with its sharp claws, cutting the major arteries with pin-point accuracy in the process.

Since the cutting is done so accurately regardless of the race, it is believed the Maewa might have a special sense or "third eye" with which it can see the major arteries of its prey. It possible, however, that through many centuries of evolution and hunting it just knows how to kill each prey most effectively.

Reproduction
During night-time a female Maewa will flash a cone directly at the sky for male Maewas to see, and of all the males that arrive, the strongest gets to mate with the female.

Function
The Autryx of a Maewa that serves for creating the bright light cone is the primary component of Dioms.
