The eyes aren't their only weird feature. Though the body is at most 28cm, the length is tripled by a pair of long, soft tail rays. The mouth is hinged so that the interior opens rapidly to suck up copepods, giving this fish a permanent puckered-up expression😘

My OC, I’Issge the Clutchkiller, is partly based on a Greenland sleeper shark. They often have a parasitic copepod that attaches to the cornea, a perfect look for an aquatic lich!

cestodes have a complex life cycle, so the stickleback probably ate infected copepods or other small crustaceans. Never saw it coming😏
