Scorpion Fish

Imagine a really grumpy underwater rock that sprouted a bunch of venomous spikes and decided to grow a pair of ridiculous, flamboyant fins. This creature spends its time sitting around looking tough and hoping nobody notices its camouflage skills (which are kind of impressive, but mostly it just looks like a weirdly shaped blob). It occasionally opens its mouth, revealing a set of teeth that would make a horror movie villain proud. Instead of swimming gracefully, it prefers to awkwardly hover around, pretending to be more dangerous than it really is. When it comes to making friends, it’s basically the antisocial introvert of the ocean, just waiting for a curious fish to swim by so it can showcase its outer spikes and secret poison!
