I'm talking like Ursula or the French spider from from James and the giant peach. Don't give me some conventionally attractive humans (though humans are totally allowed) please.

Personally mine was Goldie from Rock-a-doodle. I probably watched that movie 100 times on VHS as a kid.

I will not be hearing you out on this one. You need Jesus.

Fine, I'll just quote from the blog hosting that photo (checks notes...catholicfootnotes.com, wtf?):

The very existence of such a creature raises pressing questions, some practical (life application) and others more scientific or theoretical (as G.K. Chesterton once said, “every question is a theological question”). Life application questions might include: Does this thing swim near the shore? Might I encounter the Blobfish on my next tubing adventure? Would the Blobfish survive in my massive aquarium? More (or less) scientific questions might be: Is that a nose? Is the Blobfish nearing extinction? Does the Blobfish live near the bottom or top of the oceanic food chain? And the question everyone is asking: What’s up with those lips?

Yea... I would definitely get more sources.

Rather than scales, blobfish have loose skin. That skin, along with the ocean pressure, keeps the blobfish’s shape. But outside the ocean environment, they tend to fall apart.

People posting blobfish always makes me sad. Poor things don't actually look like that...

It's like it aliens took humans into space and our corpses got all bloated from the lack of pressure and then the aliens laugh at our corpses and assume that's what humans always look like...
