The Black Dragonfish(Idiacanthus atlanticus) of the Stomiidae family.

I love how this is like a creature from hell but it has like little pink cheeks 

deep sea anime blush stickers

fun fact those pink cheeks glow to attract unsuspecting prey

fashionable and functional with a dash of abject terror

My aesthetic.

This fish is actually SUPER COOL because it has the advantage of having evolved photophores that are able to produce blue-green light (what most other glowy creatures use) AND red light. Most deep sea fish can only produce one or the other and most of the dragonfish’s prey can’t even SEE red light. So while its chin dangle can act as a lure with blue light, its facial headlights (and other parts of its upper and lower body) can make a light that isn’t even perceivable by the other fish, allowing it to hunt invisibly.

It’s like a fucking xenomorph eel and it’s AWESOME AS SHIT.
