But I could be totally wrong at this y'all! Unless Vivzie confirms it, we will never know the reason why #baxter has those attributes. Lmk your thoughts on this!

He's being punished for a skill he is so good at back when he was still alive. Hence this is why he looks the way he looks.

– hell's fair. I think he has these because it's Hell's way(or whoever is in charge of who goes where) of saying "oh, so you change DNA? We'll change yours too." and I think Baxter is very insecure about this. Because as a bioscientist, he knows what a male anglerfish actually looks like.

But for me, I think he's bioluminescent and has an esca not because he had gender dysphoria, but because it's his karma for augmenting with no remorse. He's very fond of augmenting things like Pentious' egg boys, and Niffty's roach band, and we can even see him and his large creature experiment in

It could also be possible that Viv didn't know or didn't like the look of male anglerfish as they're pretty uninteresting to say the least
