#goblin shark

[theveryworstthing]

over on patreon Tama shouted 'shark' at me a bunch of times for the mermaid prompts, which obviously gets results.

goblin shark goblin Mitsu is here again to secure stray forbidden tomes that wander into terrestrial libraries, and this time she's brought the rest of her team.

 Sagami is the frilled shark lady who's head of Protection, physical and mental. some cults do NOT want to give up their tomes and some tomes do NOT want to get got. she's basically here to punch assholes in cloaks so Mitsu can work and create wards against unnaturally occurring madness.

Rea, the greenland shark lady, is the team's advanced translator and sacrificial editor. she's still pretty young at only 152 but she should totally be dead by now, a fact which makes the branch of Sedna's Fingers that raised her pretty smug. she translates books with words as well as books where the concept of words (or books) becomes debatable, and whenever a Rough Draft shows up she makes sure it's like, physically tolerable before letting it come in contact with anyone else.

they’re 3 smart ladies just trying to do their jobs in this void eats sanity world.

shout out to goblin sharks and their weird ass jaws! Goblin sharks have a special trait called a “slingshot jaw” where they snap their jaws forward to capture prey. their mouths can extend to up to 110 degrees wide, and shoot out at about 3.1 meters per second!

here’s a diagram of how it works:

Thoughts on which shark has the best name, you choose whether it’s the scientific or regular name.

Definitely Goblin Shark

That's definitely a goblin shark-ified

Mermay 2022: Biology Influenced Merfolk

Hey there folks! If you've been following my twitter and instagram, for this Mermay, my theme is to basically take inspiration from real life biology, and apply them to their design as merfolk... especially their wicked set of chompers. It got so popular on Insta, I even made backstories for their designs there xD.

You can read up more about their stories on my Insta, but the gist is this: Kara is a Great White Shark mermaid, and she does her best to look out for her sister, a Lamprey. She lives in a town full of quirky characters, whose merfolk come from multiple kinds of fish and critters of the sea.

DYK…

goblin sharks mature at approximately 16 years old and can live up to 60 years.

goblin sharks are named for their likeness to mythical goblins that appear in Japanese folklore.

goblin sharks have wrinkled, translucent skin, and through this, it's their blood that gives them a murky, pink or purplish-grey tinge. (THEY. ARE. PINK. 😨😨)

goblin sharks are a rare species of deep-sea shark. sometimes called a "living fossil", it is the only extant representative of the family mitsukurinidae, a lineage some 125 million years old. mitsukurina owstoni, the living goblin shark, or elfin shark, is a very rare shark to catch.

Squart here bringing you the goods from the Twilight Zone. Things are starting to get freaky where the sunlight doesn't reach.

-Coelacanths were thought to be extinct for a while, but scientists found living specimens chilling in the deep, relatively physically unchanged from 400 million years ago.

-Cuttlefish have a unique bone in their body to control buoyancy called the cuttle bone.

-Goblin shark jaws can shoot out to catch their prey.

-The telescope fish can reach about 20 cm in length, thankfully not more. Can you imagine a 6 foot beast with that face swimming after you?

This but it's my special interests

[feelingautistic]

Goblin sharks appear pink because their skin is translucent, with the colour coming from the bloodstream directly underneath the skin.
