Resembling or related to blenny fish, having blenny-like characteristics or features.
From Greek 'blennos' (mucus) + '-oid' meaning 'resembling' or 'like.' The suffix '-oid' is similar to '-form' but emphasizes similarity more than exact form.
The suffix '-oid' means 'resembling,' so 'blennioid' is how scientists say 'blenny-like'—it's different from 'blenniiform' because you could be blennioid without being exactly blenny-shaped.
