Polymixia
Polymixia is the only extant genus of the order Polymixiiformes and the only genus in Polymixiidae. It contains 10 species, all of which live in deepwater marine environments.[1] They are found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian and western Pacific Oceans. They are bottom-dwelling fish, found down to about 800 m (2,600 ft). Most are relatively small fish, although one species is over 40 cm (16 in) in length.[2]

gollark: Did you know YAML has nine ways to do multiline strings?
gollark: Go is kind of like YAML with the whole "simple" thing - it kind of *looks* simple and easy, but it's a minefield of special cases and weirdness and problems and all the special cases make it more complex than something actually designed to be simple would be.
gollark: In cleaner and more typesafe ways.
gollark: You can use codegen to generate code for repetitive tasks of some sort if they don't need to generalize much or go outside your project, but it's much better to just... not have to do those repetitive tasks, or have the compiler/macros handle them.
gollark: Also, you end up with a mess of fragile infrastructure which operates on stringy representations of the code.
