it varies depending on the day, but I’m a real fan of the stoplight loosejaw and the black swallower!
the stoplight loosejaw is a gamebreaking aimbot of a fish that has re-evolved the ability to see the color red, and emit red light, in a deep sea world where red light simply is a thing that does not exist because it’s filtered out of the water column close to the surface.
coincidentally, many deep-sea organism have evolved red pigment because it’s biologically easier cheaper than black pigment to produce and it appears black under the fragment of blue light that makes it from the surface anyway, so what’s the difference?
nothing, if you’re not being hunted by a guy with an invisible flashlight who can also see the color you actually are. whoops.
the black swallower is a wrangly vorefish with an expandable stomach that it can use to eat prey up to twice its length and ten times its own mass! if you fit in the mouth, you’re dinner, period.
(you don’t fit in the mouth. he’s 8 whole inches long.)
I also really like tripod fish.
hehheehe look at him. he sit.
