>>36573616She's based on a mix of two deepsea/bottom sea fish species, angler being the most dominant influence and scorpion fish, isn't she?
The "crown" body it has on the top of the head is the much smaller male that has become now a parassite, then ass some influnce of a toxic waste incinerator ship and probably some Da Vinci's war machine project or just medieval weapons slapped here and there.

The wide mouth extends all the way around the anterior circumference of the head, and both jaws are armed with bands of long, pointed teeth. These are inclined inwards, and can be closed so as to offer no impediment to an object gliding towards the stomach, but to prevent its escape from the mouth.
The pectoral and pelvic fins are so articulated as to perform the functions of feet, so the fish is able to walk along the bottom of the sea, where it generally hides itself in the sand or amongst seaweed.
I still don't like her design overall but the concept is cool and probably works only if you consider the UBs as they were perceived ingame, "another world" species just like the abyss of the sea is. At least I don't hate her anymore as used to.
