im not sure how to articulate it just the combo of them getting easily scratched (and cracking if theyre large; in the case of standees) and also its so much plastic as a decoration. or maybe i just dont like that theyre all flat despite being thick

I'm a Sucker for Lampreys (And You Should Be Too!), a comic I made about one of my favorite animals in 2024 and printed as a zine. (1/2)

A comic about lampreys. Description of contents:
I'm a jawless, cartilaginous fish who's existed since the Devonian. I comprise the order Petromyzontiformes, and I'm invasive in some places and a keystone in others. I'm not related to eels - my closest relative is the hagfish. My mouth might be scary, but I'm a fascinating animal with an unusual job, and I'm excited to make your acquaintance. (Anatomical diagram also included in this page)

An Umatilla creation story describes lamprey losing all his limbs while gambling with Coyote (originally Handgame, but depicted here as Yugioh.) Because of this incident, he has to live in the river and suck on rocks with his big mouth.
(There's also a Nez Perce version where he gambles away all his bones.)

There are about 40 species of lamprey, here are details on a few:
Sea lamprey: Found across the American Ocean, though invasive in the Great Lakes. Can grow up to 47" long.
Pouched lamprey: Males have a gular pouch used to oxygenate and massage eggs. They also carry rocks in it.
Pacific lamprey: Culturally and ecologically important to some Native American tribes, but they were considered a "junk fish" and poisoned. Faces migratory issues due to dams.
European brook lamprey: Non-parasitic, doesn't eat as an adult.

Lamprey life cycle:
1) Egg
2) Ammocete (larva) with simple eyespots and no teeth. Burrows and eats algae. Termed an "ecosystem engineer" because it aerates the substrate like an earthworm.
3) Transformer (after several years). Develops eyes/teeth/kidneys over a few months.
4) Adult. Migrates to the ocean, parasitizes fish by clamping onto them, rasping with sharp tongue, and sucking their blood out.
5) Spawning. Returns to birthplace and builds a nest called a "redd". Dies after laying eggs. Lampreys feed the ecosystem with nutrients brought back from the sea.
