Astral anglerfish was too cool of a concept to pass up on. I really like anglerfish I think they’re neat and spooky.
Don’t think I’ll get as detailed as you @moonstruckdraws like you did with your space animals but here goes.
This is creature is called Lophiiformes Pōwehi and unlike their earthly counterparts, these beings are enormous. Mainly the females while the males are tiny in comparison just like actual anglerfish. Their bodies are also aligned with constellations and stars.
The bob bait that they have is actually a dwarf star to lure in other prey with its bright luminous glow, and a black hole on the inside of their mouth so that any prey that gets too close gets pulled towards the fish and has no chance of escaping.
So it would be highly suggested to avoid coming into contact with these beasts lest you want to see the light of day :D
