#triplewart seadevil anglerfish

(feel free to correct me if any of the below information is false! I'm just one guy! I won't be able to edit these posts, but a correction is always appreciated anyways)

The Giant Phantom Jelly likes to stay mysterious, we've seen them so few times that we don't really know a lot about them! They can't sting and instead use their arms to capture their prey! Their bell alone can grow as big as 3.3 ft (1 meter)!

Triplewart Seadevil Anglerfish experience sexual parasitism, where the males attach themselves to females and get nutrients and what they need to survive from them, giving nothing but sperm back! Once attached, males stay with a female for life and fuse with them!

I’ve seen posts floating around regarding what animals people want to see Arknights operators designed after. I’ve seen lots of people asking for mantis shrimp and while I GET IT, a mantis shrimp brawler would be so fun, but what I think we really need is more Aegir, but of the severely unwieldy variety. I want to see some really messed up fish people based on some of the most insane sea life.

I know the seaborn and Abyssal Hunters side plot is basically done and over, especially with IS3 basically wrapping it all up in a canon alternate universe shaped bow, but what if? We still don’t have answers for all the Aegir and their back stories. I’d love to learn more about Whisperain, especially.

Personal dream list of nightmare fish people includes (please be warned some of these organisms may genuinely freak some people out, so search these names with caution if you’re curious):

Gulper eel

Ghost shark (since were robbed)

Frogfish

Wolf eel

Sea angel

Siphonofore

Large-eye snaggletooth

Flying fish

Oarfish

Anglerfish

Sea butterfly

Tubeworm

Frill shark

Common fangtooth

Atacama snailfish

Velvet belly lanternshark

Mirrorbelly

Pale pike smelt

Common Atlantic grenadier

Black scabbardfish

Triplewart seadevil

Phantom jellyfish

Cystisoma

Bathymetrinae incert

Pearl octopus

Strawberry flower star

Mobular ray

Honestly getting like two of these would be a dream come true.

☕️ + Anglerfish

my favorite is the triplewart seadevil (Cryptopsaras couesii) just for the sexual dimorphism alone!

the males are itty bitty 🤏 (1-3cm) while the females can get up to a foot long.

i also like the influence the anglerfish has had on horror 🎃 you can see it all over if you look hard enough.
