Definition
A member of the family Geryonidae, a group of crustaceans (swimming crabs) found in deep ocean waters.
Etymology
From Geryon (mythological reference) plus -id (denoting a member of a group); named to honor the mythological creature, possibly due to the creature's appearance or habitat.
Kelly Says
Deep-sea geryonids are ghost crabs that live in zones where sunlight never reaches—they're named after a monster from mythology because they truly are monsters of the deep ocean.
