lancet fish
A lancet fish is a large, predatory deep-sea fish characterized by its long, slender body and sharp, pointed fins resembling a surgeon's lancet. The fins move in a wave-like manner, enabling the fish to swim at high speeds. They can reach lengths of up to 6.6 feet and have large mouths filled with razor-sharp, curved teeth. The two main species are the longfin lancetfish and the shortfin lancetfish. They are known to be cannibalistic and have a reputation for being aggressive. Their flesh is considered inedible due to its waterlogged, gelatinous consistency.
