Become the holotype for your deep-sea* dwelling species previously unknown to man with papa!
*(technically it would be more accurate to say lower-epipelagic dwelling, which is not the deep sea, but it is very deep dwelling by sea dragon standards, which is a major reason why it went undiscovered for so long, hence its relevance.)
