Reminds me of a pterosaur somehow.
Considering that splitting supersonic shockwaves in the air is kind of analogous to splitting the water when plunge-diving for fish (which at least some pterosaurids are hypothesized to have done), that makes sense.
Maybe their ability to go to the bathroom without making any noise was the inspiration?
