A deep-sea fish (monkfish) with a large mouth and bioluminescent lure, named for its somewhat ugly appearance resembling a goose's head.
Compound of 'goose' and 'fish.' The name is descriptive, referring to the fish's head shape and unattractive appearance—similar to how other fish are named for animals they resemble (catfish, dogfish).
The goosefish's scientific name is Lophius americanus, and it's one of the ocean's most bizarre creatures—it uses a glowing fishing rod-like appendage to lure prey in the darkness of the deep sea, making it both a fisherman and a fish!
