Anglerfish lengths can vary from 2–18 cm (1–7 in), with a few species larger than 100 cm (39 in).[36] The largest members are the European monkfish Lophius piscatorius (200 cm (6.6 ft) SL, 57.7 kilograms (127 lb)), the deep-sea warty anglerfish Ceratias holboelli (120 cm (3.9 ft) TL), the giant frogfish Antennarius commerson (45 cm (1.48 ft) TL), and the giant triangular batfish Malthopsis gigas (13.6 cm (0.45 ft)).[37][38][39][40]
Is that the fish where the male latches on to the female and then is slowly, I think, absorbed until only the testicles remain? The females can end up swimming round with a whole bunch of different balls on them and can choose which to fertilise with.
Geez! No wonder it looks so angry.
Holy crap
That doesn’t seem too far removed from modern society
They’ve shrunk since they’ve returned from the Dark Bramble

It’s frustrating that this misleading image is making its rounds on Lemmy now.
Explain! Explain! Explain! Please…
It was found in cold water and wasn’t even aroused.
They exist in different sizes, females can grow up to 1.2m
Embarassing
Still 10/10 terrifying. Would avoid…
That’s one spicy meatball.
Outer Wilds has taught me these dudes are larger than my space ship.
Or maybe the large ones are so angry because of the countless tiny ones you unknowingly splattered against your hull?
Now it changed from biting off your face to chopping the tip of your dick. I don’t know what to fear more.
Maybe they expand under pressure
As an emotional eater, I do the same
:3
