For some reason reminded me of this

Now? No. Then? Absolutely.

That is such a shit fish. I love it.

me when the event

Kinda looks like he is about to say "Out of cyan; replace ink cartridge."

As a matter of fact, don't let nothin' hold you back. If the Scat Man can do it, brother, so can you!

Somethin’ like a fish.

Fish of Theseus

…I’m sorry

Look! The Lobotomite has returned!

Modern fish are often dark on top and light underneath to fool prey/predators but also often colorful. Why do they assume one evolutionary step over the other? That beautiful blimpie belly calls out for decoration!

How does it maneuver without any fins?

I often wonder that about your mom

For the uninformed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPkwGhwU_FY

Functional changes in coloration are much "easier" (read: more likely) to develop through random mutation than functional changes to complex mechanical structures like bone structure or musculature. Given their predecessors were already under selective pressure by predation for millions of years prior, it's reasonable to assume they'd developed countershading (light bottom, dark top). Plus current agnathans are usually pretty dull.

Edit: oh geez, I misunderstood your message. It totally could have been a rainbow party blimp. That mostly depends on what their habitat was like.

Thanks for editing not deleting because TIL!

The eyes would suggest it's a predator.

Horror already without filters. I'm going to see that thing in my nightmares, fuckin hell.

Of course! I'm a biologist, I try to use my powers for good.
