Made with DeviantArt muro

they have flashlight eyes now i guess?

Megafish largely dominate many parts of the Traznagtanian ocean, population-wise, and are called so because of their large size. Some of the largest Megafish species can grow 30 to 40 feet long, while the smallest are around the 15 feet mark.

ANATOMY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Almost all Megafish (the species pictured above is called the Stalkeye Leechoid) come equipped with a single large eye near the front of their body, under that a tentacle with usually a beak at the end (this one is equipped with fold-able poison barbs), about two stalk protrusions sprouting out of their backs, which serve as optical organs (gives binocular vision), and a very large (usually bigger than the fishes body) tail and fin with an opening in the middle, which serve a similar function but still largely different to gills.

SPECIES DESCRIPTION
=============================================
The Tentacle-Beak Megafish species is very extremely diverse, so they have evolved to cooperate with different species of Megafish, often creating large swarms of 20 to (on rare occasions) up to 6,000 to eradicate almost all living organisms in the area. When they gather in groups this big (in the thousands) they are called Megafish Megaswarms. What they destroy in havoc and chaos, they give in sprouting new communities of life. When a Megafish dies, decomposition life forms start eating the carcass and often create whole new ecosystems in once desolate places, from decomposers to parasites to microbes to even sometimes whole new species. Oftentimes these grow into large and lush communities with predators, prey, parasites, and filter feeding organisms, all usually living in dense forests of alien plant life. This is because of their nutrient rich blood and tissues.


i had lots of fun making this as usual, i have a land whale coming up but i am not sure if it'll make it to Deviant Art because of some setbacks.
