Hey guys and gals,

I just wanted to ask you creatives what is the most bizarre creature you have ever made up for your works in fiction and what did you call it?

I have a very strange set of pale white aquatic creatures with a living nest of their eel-like young that sprout from their heads and have sharp beak-like jaws that serve to catch prey and feed not only themselves but their young until they get old enough to detach from their parent and grow silver strobing eyes.  These are called “Moonsprites” because they tend to be mostly nocturnal and have a luminescent glow underwater.  The young go through an amphibious stage where they can wriggle onto the shores for brief intervals, but they are principally water creatures.  They are lithe and vicious and often encircle their victims like sharks, but often hunt in packs.  The males have large pectoral fins with a hard-blunt leading edge that can cut and slash larger animals, with double rows of shark-like teeth.  Their eyes are luminous and photo-strobic and often stun and blind their victims, disorienting them in the water.
Would love to hear what kind of creatures you all are creating.
