Description
Pelican Dragons are massive creatures dwelling in the abyss. Their primary source of food is fish, shrimps and other small animals, but they can swallow seals and dolphins by accident. Like many other deep sea creatures, they rise towards the surface during night in order to feed.An illustration made for an assignment in high school. I made four deep sea dragons in all.
This one is based on the gulper/pelican eel. They are the best deep sea fish ever
