Bearing or producing hair-like bristles or setae as a structural characteristic.
From Greek 'chaete' (hair, bristle) and 'phoros' (bearing, carrying), literally meaning 'bristle-bearing' or 'hair-carrying.'
Many deep-sea creatures are chaetophorous—covered in weird bristles and hair-like structures that help them sense movement in the dark ocean where light doesn't penetrate and visibility is completely zero.
