Suddenly I feel the need for some orange ink....

[musicman123]

For research purposes, what is that????

...

[ScienceChick]

Is that V. infernalis??

[ScienceChick]

Oops, should have read the article first.

Is that V. infernalis??

 

Why does a blooby fishy need ears? This is going to keep me awake.

[musicman123]

I did not realize there was an article on top. Oops.

I can see why some would consider this creature adorable...to me though it is slightly disturbing. I can not specify why...but it just is to me.

 

I think it may be the eyes....

And ears. Did you forget about the ears?

Hey Amber should add that to her collection of avitars

V. infernalis has little "ears", big blue eyes and is red but it's deep ocean. It looks a lot like that cute little guy.

My first thought as well. Sea-dwelling ghostie

 

Thanks for the article.

It has to listen to current events. Duh.

And the weird wrinkly skin....and strange wide tentacles...it just looks....icky <shudder>

Kill it, kill it with fire. J/K.

Interesting little critter there.

I'm on it!

She is Adorable!!!!!!

<-- Ponders how to "sex" that thing. Invertebrate zoology wasn't my thing in undergrad/grad. Can't tell if it is a he or a she.

Looks a bit like an overgrown clay "pigeon" for skeet shooting, though that would make a terrible mess. Hey, before you judge me too harshly ... one police department in ND, that shall remain nameless, used unwanted feral kittens for skeet targets. Pull !!

This reminds me of the "Robot Chicken" series of very short animated shorts regarding Pacman, Ms. Pacman, and the ghosts. Evil, just evil *Laughs evilly*

Looks more like Clyde to me
