This fish is a tragic example of arms escalation in marine life. It started with box turtles, who had abnormally large fists. Then the hammerhead sharks got involved, then daggerfish, swordfish, and scimitarfish. Finally, in the interest of defending themselves (and making scientists' heads explode), fish began evolving small arms -- you may have seen the revolverfish and the double-barreled- shotgunfish. The end result is this fish, which has a fully functioning bazooka growing out of its nose. It's here to blow you up and chew bubblegum, and you better hope it doesn't run out of bubblegum.
