Description
Not much to say... coelacanths with a touch of placoderms.
Yupp.

The relicanth is a so called ”living fossil”, a type of pokémon that evolved millions of years back and hasn’t changed much in design since then.
Not much about them is known; not only are they rare but they live in the depths of the ocean.
No light reaches down where they live and the relicanth is completely blind. Hard armour covers their skull and jaws; this may partly serve as protection but they are believed to mostly use it when feeding upon molluscs () and echinodermatas (such as staryus) where the plates helps to crush these hard, bottom living organisms.
The pattern covering the relicanths body is a bit of a mystery, but it’s speculated that they occasionally go to more shallow, warmer waters, maybe to spawn. There the speckled skin serves well as camouflage against the bottoms where they feed. The red spot is said to attract cleaner fishes such as remoraids.
