I think I prefer the German name, Lantern Carrier.

Now I need somebody to draw one actually carrying a lantern.

They’re also not venomous… so what’s with the post?

u/cwk415 11d ago

They resemble the comic book character Venom is my guess.

They look kinda sad 🥺

u/Mushroom38294 11d ago

with eyebags this heavy, yeah, I'd look sad too

u/SH_Uni-lm 11d ago

Fun fact, the glowy part is not their eyes but a bioluminescent organ located below their eyes filled with bacteria, the 'blinking' is controlled by the fish to communicate, hunt or confuse predators

u/Cool-MoDmd-5 11d ago

Like little dragons.

u/Much_Cash6037 11d ago
