The Angler Fish can measure anywhere from 20cm to 1m in length. They are dark grey or dark brown in color, with soft skin that is adapted to reflect blue light, making it difficult to see. It has two small eyes on either side of the head, but they are rarely used as there is little to no light at the depths they live at. The male Angler Fish has the largest proportional nostrils of any creature on earth, which it uses to search for a pheromone emitted by females. The Angler Fish does not have ears, as it has no use for them.
