They burry themselves in the sand and they stick out their worm like tongue to lure their prey, and once something tasty swims by, they use their large mouth to create a vacuum to suck the prey in. For more info about the stargazer, checkout this video : www.youtube.com/shorts/3Fmeposa60I

At first I thought it was a photo of an ancient Roman mosaic depicting an unusual mythical creature. They are just...freaky!

I remember the time one of my online friends was trying to look for a specific fish that can dig into the sand because they were looking for something that fits a character’s terrakinesis when they’re making him a merman; they came across the stargazer image on google and they’re disturbed. I made the mistake of looking up ‘stargazer’ to see for myself and I regret it

"The nightmare of the ocean floor" Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

They look silly with their grumpy face. And it's cute how they wiggle themselves into the sand 💕

Jean Luc-Picard's old ship's namesake really is something.

Was well aware of Stargazers as a sea creature. But I did conceptualize land and swamp dwelling variants for my tabletop. These goofy goobers were just too precious to pass up as inspiration for an ambush monster~

To me it looks like a work of art, a dark foreboding piece.
