It is native to Australia, which doesn’t surprise me at all given that it looks more like a trap designed by a deranged dungeon keeper than a creature
If only I could give you two upvotes. One for Australia being the most dangerous place in the known universe, and two for the messed up looking D&D beastie. Well played, my friend.
IRL Shambling Mound was my first thought when I saw the picture.
The tasselled wobbegong has been reported to bite and kill humans unprovoked
hol’ up
With several records of apparently unprovoked attacks on people, the tasselled wobbegong has a reputation beyond other wobbegongs for aggressive behavior.
Is such a fucking funny sentence to me.
That reads like some Rick and Morty interdimensional cable shit
“The vicious… tongles of the tasselled wobbegong turn into… teeth, and they, chomp, on the wobbegong’s prey.”
Normally when I think of wobbegongs I think about cute, maybe a little strange-looking but otherwise harmless creatures. But then I remember that the tasselled wobbegong exists.
UNPROMPTED
It looks like a Muppet.
i was gonna say this is a rejected muppet idea
Meet the Feebles.

When I was getting my bio degree, carpet sharks (including Wobbegons) are what I was most interested in studying. Just about every family in the order is fascinating in some way.
This planet is so beautiful and wonderful. And underneath its waters is an entirely different world, full of wild and majestic creatures just like the Tasselled Wobbegong here. I pray that we act quick enough on our climate initiatives to save these things for the future.
I’m sure Nintendo/Gamefreak are going to file an infringement case against them.
there’s a whole order of carpet sharks. orectolobiformes
I keep reading it as woebegone.
I kept reading “tessellated”
Unless it sings a happy song teaching me letters or numbers, I’m out.
What is everyone on about puppets? This looks like something out of neverending story. Turn around, look at what you see.
You mean one of the puppets from the Neverending story?
No, the horse.
Best play set ever.
That’s a goosefish.
