Deepsea critters are just odd.
So you are a #deepsea #dragonfish who is going to emit red light to hunt by. Cool, cool. Obvously, you'll have a photoreptor for that red light.

Every time I hear about #dragonfish #vision, I think, "That's odd!" Imagine using bioluminescent to emit light to hunt by...now imagine first using florescence to shift the wavelength you are going to emit to a red that your prey can't see.

'Hook and Eye' Sigmund. Triton dude with markings based on a mandarin dragonet. Made him as a pair with another pc but the campaign never took off.

The deep-sea #dragonfish is considered one of the scary, monstrous creatures of the ocean. It was also the subject of a #bioinspired research project by @ucsandiego.bsky.social #materials scientists that studied the properties of its transparent teeth! www.zmescience.com/feature-post...

Of the several different species of larval-stage #dragonfish that I occasionally encounter on my Aliens Collection dives, this is my fav. More distinct finnage, and super cool color dots.

Why Are Arowanas Called 'The Dragon Fish'?
Unveil the legend behind the Arowana’s dragon-like status. Ancient myths meet modern aquariums!

A translucent dragonfish larvae squirms and looks at the camera with a goofy smiley face in inky dark night time. There are pink dots that run the length of its body.

Last night we encountered 8 species of #dragonfish larvae will drifting in the Gulf Stream. Goofy as kids, they have a goth glow up as adults. At this stage their digestive tract trails outside of their body for some reason. #marinelife #plankton
A watercolor painting of 3 Arowana fish of different color and position. One on top is yellow with purple undertones swimming forward facing the viewer. The middle fish further away is turned to the side, with purple and red tones. The bottom and closest fish is yellow with brown tones and swims facing down towards the viewer. The background is a burst of yellow, green and white with strings and streaks as the background.
I’m going to sneak in my own batch of Arowana the #dragonfish for #FishyFeb 😉 I freaking love this fish and hope to see it in person one day. Hope to see ya’ll tomorrow!

I wasn't happy with Orli's last design (mostly because his bangs covered his facial scars, and I want to show them off!) So have a tweaked design.

A koi fish dragon model miniature painted in tricolor rising out of the waves.
Been nice to paint a few things. This is a resin print I bought a couple years ago. It kept breaking so I pieced it back together and I decided to play more on fish than dragon - love a tricolor koi! #fantasyminiature #miniature #koi #dragon #dragonfish #ttrpg
