May's sticker club design is the ANGLERFISH (specifically a fanfin devilfish), one female and one male. Can you spot the lil' dude? While he may look like a parasite or suckling baby, he's actually a portable sperm factory for the big ol' gal' that's fused his organs and flesh with her.

[ID: digital sketch of a darkskinned and fat anglerfish mermaid lying on her stomach with her tail vurling up in the air. she is propping her face up with one hand and looking over at the viewer with a smile on her face. End ID]

this is a Wip bc idk if i will have the juice to properly colour her but i did draw smth for mermay... pose ref taking from the morph fat and skinfold anatomy for artists book and Inspo for her overall design was the fanfin anglerfish.

#she is bioluminescent #the ghost scribbles #there is smth off here but i can't tell what but i liked it enough to post as a WIP anyway lmao #i fucking love mermaids hello

[julianbashir]

trick or treat? :3c

you get the fanfin anglerfish! these guys (or rather, girl, since anglerfish males are small and parasitic) use their long fin rays to sense movement in the water around it

Hey so when exactly will you do more reverse au art because I got an idea for the coral siren and anglerfish siren, so you see the anglerfish siren swap with coral siren which now she like an cyborg/cyberpunk ish girl which her big eye is half robot and alive, which can shoot lasers and electricity claws. And the coral siren swaps with anglerfish siren which now she more like an darken coral environment and uses an living coral monster like from the scooby doo episode

Again, I haven't actually done any art myself - I've reblogged fanart, and I've received one submission of fanart, but no art from me personally! There's been a few different people who've done fanart, but @volcanolotus has done the most last I checked (with incredibly good designs might I add)

Anyway, I like your ideas! While I haven't done a swap of the other sirens and don't plan to - partially to keep to the original vision of the swap only affecting the "main cast," as it were, partially because the sirens that aren't Lobster and Empress have so little focus in the actual game that it's hard to imagine how a swap of them would even impact that much - a cyborg Anglerfish Siren and a Coral Siren that uses summon magic like Risky's own sounds like a good start! if I did end up swapping the other sirens, swapping Anglerfish and Coral Siren honestly seems like a natural fit

for fun, I'll give my own take on the idea; not really fleshed out that much because, again, not planning on swapping the other sirens, but here you go (under read more since this is already a fairly big ask):

Anglerfish Siren -> Fanfin Siren:

So yeah, fun fact, apparently anglerfish covers a rather broad selection of species, some of which are wildly different from the typical idea of an anglerfish. Go look it up sometime, it's wild! Anyway, went with fanfins since they're the species of anglerfish most notable for not having a lure, with the idea being that Fanfin Siren made a prosthetic lure (that does function as a cool robot eye since that's a good idea) to make up for her lack of one

Fanfin Siren is the ship's technician, with all the dreariness, deadpan, and dramatics of her regular counterpart - all of which adds up for her to be a goth punk rocker, complete with a sick guitar and scene bangs

Her boss fight is more of a concert than a fight, with her sending large soundwaves at Risky while her prosthetic lure fires small lasers to take potshots at her

Coral Siren -> Seahorse Siren:

Much like how Fanfin Siren gets Coral's role as the technician, Seahorse Siren gets Anglerfish's role as the magician, which combined with her manic gremlin persona can lead to, ah. A bit of trouble you could say. Shenanigans, if you will

Seahorse Siren still has her pet cycloptic slug-thing Spiny, though instead of using him as a visor she instead uses it as a crystal ball...and will also magically enlarge it to gigantic size to fight for her

That's not to say she'll leave Spiny alone to fight for itself, no no! She'll support it by sitting back behind a fortune-telling curtain and making minions out of coral, occasionally popping her head out to laugh at Risky's misfortune

angler fish

The anglerfish are fish of the teleost order Lophiiformes (/ˌlɒfiɪˈfɔːrmiːz/).[1] They are bony fish named for their characteristic mode of predation, in which a modified luminescent fin ray (the esca or illicium) acts as a lure for other fish. The luminescence comes from symbiotic bacteria, which are thought to be acquired from seawater,[2][3] that dwell in and around the sea.

Some anglerfish are notable for extreme sexual dimorphism and sexual symbiosis of the small male with the much larger female, seen in the suborder Ceratioidei, the deep sea anglerfish. In these species, males may be several orders of magnitude smaller than females.[4]

Anglerfish occur worldwide. Some are pelagic (dwelling away from the sea floor), while others are benthic (dwelling close to the sea floor). Some live in the deep sea (such as the Ceratiidae), while others live on the continental shelf, such as the frogfishes and the Lophiidae (monkfish or goosefish). Pelagic forms are most often laterally compressed, whereas the benthic forms are often extremely dorsoventrally compressed (depressed), often with large upward-pointing mouths.[citation needed]

Evolution[edit]

The earliest fossils of anglerfish are from the Eocene Monte Bolca formation of Italy, and these already show significant diversification into the modern families that make up the order.[5] Given this, and their close relationship to the Tetraodontiformes, which are known from Cretaceous fossils, they likely originated during the Cretaceous.[6][7] A 2010 mitochondrial genome phylogenetic study suggested the anglerfishes diversified in a short period of the early to mid-Cretaceous, between 130 and 100 million years ago.[8] A more recent preprint reduces this time to the Late Cretaceous, between 92 to 61 million years ago.[7] Other studies indicate that anglerfish only originated shortly after the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event as part of a massive adaptive radiation of percomorphs, although this clashes with the extensive diversity already known from the group by the Eocene.[7][9]

Classification[edit]

FishBase,[1] Nelson,[10] and Pietsch[11] list 18 families, but ITIS[12] lists only 16. The following taxa have been arranged to show their evolutionary relationships.[4]

Suborder Lophoiodei

Lophiidae (goosefishes or monkfishes)

Suborder Antennarioidei

Antennariidae (frogfishes)

Tetrabrachiidae (four-armed frogfishes)[13]

Brachionichthyidae (handfishes)

Lophichthyidae (Boschma's frogfish)[13]

Suborder Chaunacoidei

Chaunacidae (sea toads)

Suborder Ogcocephaloidei

Ogcocephalidae (batfishes)

Suborder Ceratioidei

Centrophrynidae (prickly seadevils)

Ceratiidae (warty seadevils)

Himantolophidae (footballfishes)

Diceratiidae (doublespine seadevils)

Melanocetidae (black seadevils)

Thaumatichthyidae (wolf-trap seadevils)

Oneirodidae (dreamers)

Fanfin Seadevil

Caulophyyne jordani

The Fanfin Seadevil is an ugly, deep fish that is covered in gnarled skin and long sensory filaments. The sensory filaments allow this species of anglerfish to detect movement in the water; this helps the Fanfin find and lure its prey. Furthermore, this deformed monstrosity can be found floating between 700m to 3000m in the ocean.

Potential sticker designs for May's Hot Dog Sticker Club!

Sticker Club members can vote on which design I finish first. Not a member yet? Become a zeenie weenie!

For May, we have the choice of:

Twin Gorillas: Western lowland gorillas: One grey gorilla, one vanilla gorilla. They are highly intelligent and critically endangered. The only known albino gorilla was Snowflake - his albinism possibly being the result of naturally occuring inbreeding. This will come in a set of two stickers!

Pink Dolphin: There are several types of pink dolphins in the world.  This particular drawing depicts a Taiwanese Humpback Dolphin, Their pink coloration is due to blood vessels close to the skin's surface.  There are less than 100 Taiwanese Humpback Dolphins left in their natural habitat.

Anglerfish Het Yaoi: <3 size difference! Some types of anglerfish, such as this fanfin anglerfish, display extreme dimorphism and parasitism. The males are 1/10th the size of the female and cannot digest food. Unless they find a girlfriend they will die. Once they find a GF, they fuse organically with her flesh, and they shrivel until they're nothing but a beating heart and set of testes. Some species of female anglerfish may have up to 8 sperm donors attached to her at once.

A wolf gaoler, a capybara tundra, an anglerfish (fanfin seadevil) skydancer, and a weasel (ferret) spiral! these are really fun to do, so feel free to request more here or in an ask or something.

#g drawin #flight rising #fr art #fr dragon morphs #< that'll be my tag now hopefully i remember it #i went a little ham on the SD jxhdbdhhdbxd

[chitsangenthusiast]

hello kath for reasons absolutely unrelated to any ask games what are your favourite deep sea fish? purely out of curiosity obviously (nah but fr i am genuinely curious i dont really know anything about deep sea creatures and you always seem so excited about them sakjfhsd)

(capt-snoozles)

HELLO omg here's the thing of it all where i lit got into a deep sea fascination solely bc of: siphonophores

i love them they're magnificent and genuine beauties and they absolutely feature in every single one of my deep sea au's lmfao

otherwise my favorites are jellyfish (all of them), fanfin anglerfish, and corals! love a good coral lol

pom-pom crabs aren't really a deep sea creature but they are my crabsona so i'm including them here anyway 🧡

#there's a few more i could list but these are like. the Top Creatures i think #also: #the siphonophores website is just so funnily my fave thing so obv i had to link it lol #SIPHONOPHORE SEPTEMBER I'M GONNA MAKE IT HAPPEN #apologies for only just now answering this work has. Been today lmao so i waited until i was in a better mood to answer <3 #ask #oh wait i feel like i should mention coelacanths bc that's technically what my car is named after lol #baby cat <3

[feralcoffeebug]

okay so fanfin seadevils are a type of deep sea anglerfish, and they were only caught on camera in like 2018 which was really cool!!! there are only around 170 species of anglerfish known rn

what's super cool about them is that the females are around 60 times the length of the males and they're also 500,000 times as heavy which is super cool!!!

instead of the light that comes off their head like you might imagine when you hear the word anglerfish, fanfin seadevils actually have many many long thin fin-rays that each glow in points along those fins. they also have super big mouths which are super funky and cool

now that's what the females look like the the males are much smaller, and they don't have anything to lure prey in, instead they have bigger nostrils which help them locate the chemical attractant the females put out and also bigger eyes as well.

once the male finds the female, he bites her and then their circulatory systems and tissue fuse together and he can't get free. he only gets nutrients from her blood.

what scientists theorize about fanfin seadevils is that the whiskers the females have to attract prey are also a sensing mechanism, cause each of them have nerve endings and muscle, which allows the female to control each fin-ray separately!!!!!

anyways rant over now you know about fanfin seadevils and i hope you enjoyed reading this!!!! have a wonderful day :D

Oh I did!! Thank you very much!!
