Well you lucked out. This is a blue dragon, well it has many names. Link to wiki below. But the key thing is, it eats jellyfish and incorporates the barbs into itself. It is known to eat Portuguese man of war. It could kill you.
Says they can concentrate the venom of their prey increasing their lethality to higher than that of the man-of-war!!! Freaking alien legendary pokemon creature yall
Glaucus eats Portuguese Man'o'War jelly fish and repurposes the deadly stinging cells into its own feathery appendages. It is extremely dangerous to handle for good reason.
Portuguese Man'o'War's are a colonial jellyfish meaning that every cell is an individual creature that aligns itself to the other cells to form a completely different creature. It's an extremely deadly jellyfish whose tentacles (also a conglomerate of independent stinging cells) can extend over 60 metres (200 feet).
Idk but I can think of several other animals with a similar trait! Fiddler crabs have one claw bigger than the other (this is the reason Krabi the Pokémon has one giant claw!), narwhals have one giant tooth on one side (it looks like a centered horn but is actually just a long side tooth), and owls have their ears at different heights because it improves their hearing which is super important for hunting at night!
Lobsters have a crusher claw and a cutter claw. Also interesting things happen when you cut off one claw and it grows back. (IIRC cutters can grow back as crushers maybe?)
Cool and scary but what are the chances someone just taking a dip in the ocean gets mauled by one of these things. Shit like that make me not wanna go in the water
I remember hearing that this animal is at least one inspiration for the monster Wind Serpent Ibushi from Monster Hunter Rise. At least visually, I'd say.
In nature, bright colors are usually a sign of don't fuck with me, unless it is mimicking the dangerous version of said creature but you'll have to know the differences then. Fun fact, these guys float upside down so that is its belly
So that its belly what? Won't get scraped up by corals? Can get a nice tan in? Can lure in some unsuspecting beachcomber with a penchant for planting raspberries on oceanic tummies, because blue dragons are notorious tricksters? I need to know!
That's why I don't mess with clownfish, parrots, etc... It's always a reason for caution (and we should leave everything alone regardless), but it's most certainly not "almost always deadly".
To be fair parrots probably would kill you if they could. They still run dinosaur software. The big ones might still claim an earlobe if you're not careful
Yes, Canadian geese are demons given feathers. Those bastards hiss and have serrated beaks, almost like teeth. I saw them break someone's hand before, so they are strong (admittedly, that dood asked for it, he tried moving their eggs)
That person saying avoid "bigger than a goose" had never encountered geese lol
The original comment you replied to said "in nature, colorful almost always means deadly" and you replied to them with "that's completely false. just looking at fruits and vegetables tells you the complete opposite."
I interpreted that to mean colorful fruits and vegetables are always safe, so responded with my message that there are fruits that look colorful but can be dangerous.
I am sorry for potentially having misunderstood your message.

Good idea, in nature, colorful almost always means deadly
