Well, I suspect that his other abilities have ways of determining shapeshifters as well...but yeah, the name of the ability indicates that it's an ORGAN...but it could simply be an ability that mimics that organ, and that's why it's given that name. If it were an actual organ than it would likely be a passive thing he can't turn on or off.

I'm thinking that it may be intended for him to be able to combine it into Phased Radar Array...but he just doesn't have all the requisite abilities to do it yet. It's possible that he has to get other organ-like abilities to combine into one synthesized ability, so that he can synthesize THAT into the Phased Radar Array.

I say this because I'm fairly certain that all of the abilities that Phased Radar Array contains are based off of organs/senses that he already had (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.):

They combine into Phased Radar Array, which the description for it from the author is something along the lines of this:
 * Thermography: Allows the user to see the heat of objects/things with their eyes.
 * Echolocation: Makes use of his vocal chords to generate sonar like readings. Capable of seeing through (some?) objects, though it simply makes them transparent. Can also be used as an attack if it's levelled up enough.
 * Sense Presence: Makes use of all of his senses to determine objects, species, etc. Works even if the user is unconscious. - This is the ability that acts a lot like an early warning system for him, letting him know when people approach (which is probably the part of PRA that triggers his awakening in Day 177)
 * Sense Trap: Functions in a similar manner to intuition, allowing them to sense traps. It most likely just gathers all the data it can from the surroundings by using all of their senses to let the user know of these things.
 * Sense Enemy: Functions in a similar manner to inuition, giving the user the ability to determine if something/someone is hostile or not.

An ability created from the synthesis of five abilities. Its effects manifest themselves when an object or being becomes hostile towards the user. Gets rid of things like surprise attacks because it senses things such as temperature, but it can't be used to detect things that are insubstantial.

I'm a little surprised he hasn't combined Phased Radar Array with his synthesized Sense Area ability to create a new and improved version of them both...but it's possible he needs the synthesized ability made with Lorenzini Organ (if there is one) in order to do that.

The reason that I think he might not  have all of the necessary abilities to create this (these) abilities, is because of the abilities he learned from the spirit orbs. He probably could've combined them into various other abilities earlier on...and I imagine he most likely TRIED to do so, but he doesn't actually make the new ability with them until he gets most (if not all) of the abilities from eating spirit orbs.

It's possible that he might not need ALL of the abilities, but needs a certain % of them or something. It's honestly hard to say. It'd be nice if the author could elaborate on that sort of thing, tbh. ^^

Hope all of this helps.

Also...don't worry about the double post...it happens sometimes. ^^
