Species: anglerfish

Anglerfish, Scientific Name: Lophiiformes, are a order of of aquatic lifeforms known for using their bioluminescence to lure smaller fish to be consumed, much like an angler. They have boney body structures and fins with large jaws full of sharp teeth. Many Anglerfish have an extreme form of sexual dimorphism in which males are so small and weak that they actually fuse with the much larger females as a permanent parasite when they reproduce.
