A fish that can supposedly predict natural disasters lives deep in the ocean, floating through the twilight zone where only 1% of light reaches. They're considered extremely rare and have origins in Japanese folklore where they serve as messengers for the god of the sea. They are also huge!!!! Measuring up to 36 feet, they're the longest living bony fish and are thought to have inspired sea cryptid tales of yore <3
