Centriscoidea is a superfamily of the suborder Aulostomoidei, part of the order which includes the sea horses, piperfishes and dragonets, the Syngnathiformes. They are chareacterised by having the 5-6 anterior vertebrae being elongated and the pelvic fin has a single spine and four rays.[1]

gollark: Why not cut out the middleman and directly crowdsource the book?
gollark: I read 1 and 2, and don't really like them either to be honest. The writing is kind of clunky, and it does a lot of "oh look, a problem appeared! The protagonist just solves it with [weird interaction of various items, used once then forgotten about]".

gollark: Hypothetical ones, mind you.
gollark: I mean, I vaguely remember it meaning "faster than light particles", but I don't see how that's relevant.
