Case 001: Anglerfish

Case card for the anglerfish. Status: unresolved. Photograph: not available.

First sighted thousands of meters deep, well into the midnight zone of the Pacific Ocean. Divers reported a single, small light drifting in the dark that radiated a deceptively welcoming feeling. Strangely, none of them were able to describe the creature behind it.
