My son had a book called “You’re Called What?!” which featured a tasseled wobbegong, alongside other animals such as the Shovelnose Guitarfish, Bone Eating Snot Flower Worm, and the Aha Ha.
It looks like a Muppet.
i was gonna say this is a rejected muppet idea

I’m sure Nintendo/Gamefreak are going to file an infringement case against them.
When I was getting my bio degree, carpet sharks (including Wobbegons) are what I was most interested in studying. Just about every family in the order is fascinating in some way.
I keep reading it as woebegone.
This planet is so beautiful and wonderful. And underneath its waters is an entirely different world, full of wild and majestic creatures just like the Tasselled Wobbegong here. I pray that we act quick enough on our climate initiatives to save these things for the future.
But do you think it has cute babies?
If so, we need an anti ugly duckling story
That’s a goosefish.
Yer a goosefish!
Moo
Unless it sings a happy song teaching me letters or numbers, I’m out.
Is it wearing a gilly suit?
Basically. They’re ambush hunters that pop up and snatch/vacuum prey into their maws. I recall the tassels are also attractive to fish that look for food in the sand, but don’t quote me on that.

Least annoying video I could find in a few seconds.
I loved these things as an ocean obsessed kid. Fun to see it mentioned; i haven’t thought about these for a long time!
