I know about this one! It was in Dave the Diver
I spent years thinking it was called Dunkleosaurus before I realised I'd been reading it wrong the whole time

Oh, and I thought he had dark bones
Even knowing the correct name I somehow never made that connection!
Well, TIL.
I spent years never having read or heard of this fish at all, but thankfully that dark dark time in my life just ended.

Who got caviar with his trilobite meal? The dunkler!
There is only one supreme commander of the seas and that is Father Dagon; who has gifted us with the Deep Ones.
