So I had a thought for some sea critters and one that seemed very much on the top of my list to create was a gigantic Angler fish that patrols the deep waters around the Land of the Young.
The deep sea angler is a grotesque-looking fish that lives in the extreme depths of the ocean. It has a large mouth likes with sharp, fang-like teeth. Its appearance has earned it a second name of "The Black Devil".
The angler gets its name from the long, modified dorsal spine which is tipped with a light producing organ known as a photophore. Like many other deep water fish, the angler uses this organ like a lure to attract its prey. It will flash its light on and off while waving it back and forth like a fishing pole. When the prey fish gets close enough, the angler snaps it up with its powerful jaws. A strange fact about the deep sea angler is the fact that the male is smaller and different in appearance from the female,
The deep sea angler is found throughout the world at depths of over 3000 feet. However some have spotted the large beasts coming up to shallower depths for the taste of other forms of meat..... :twisted: figured this thing would be about 40 feet (12 m) long? Since it would be one of the Great Beasts of the sea.
Just an Idea? Was gonna stat these things but if someone else wants to give it a try they can. I will get some stats up here soon unless someone beats me to it. Thought about creating stats for the Megalodon shark as well.
