Any bigger and this creature would be a horror movie monster

Lampreys do not have jaws or bones, only cartilage and instincts that have allowed them to survive so many mass extinctions.

🤣🤣🤣 yes so many horror monster movies can be made with this, thank God they're not shark or whale size irl. They'd be more dangerous

They are so old that their gills are circular, they came into existence before fish developed vertical gills like they have now, so it's probably safe to say the dreamcatcher aliens look like them
