Himantura chaophraya caratterizzata dal corpo piatto romboidale, grandi pinne pettorali a forma di ali, coda sottile e lunga, occhi posti sul dorso, bocca ventrale. Si differenziano dalle "cugine" razze della famiglia rajidae per la presenza dell'aculeo velenoso sulla coda, il quale produce l'ittioacantossina e provoca effetti simili alla cancrena e al tetano. Gli esemplari più grandi (appartenenti alla specie Himantura chaophraya) possono raggiungere 4,60 metri di lunghezza e 1,90 metri di larghezza.
Negli esemplari di maggiori dimensioni, l'aculeo può arrivare fino a 35-40 centimetri di lunghezza, ha un profilo dentellato ed è rivestito da una epithelial sheath. At the root dell'aculeo are two poison glands that secrete a substance composed of the enzymes 5-nucleotidase and phosphodiesterase, which destroys the cells, and serotonin, which causes muscle contractions.
The action of this cocktail is necrotizing and this is added the possibility of severe bacterial infections also. Depending on the affected area dall'aculeo, the course may even be fatal (see the example of television presenter Steve Irwin, who died in Australia after a blow from a stingray Sept. 4, 2006). The sting usually is broken and remains in the wound: the animal is not a serious injury, as grows at a rate of about 1-1.5 centimeters per month.
