Abyssal Rainbow Gar
Field Report
The Abyssal Rainbow Gar is a modern cryptid allegedly spotted in the deep ocean, described as a long, iridescent fish with gar-like features and bioluminescent stripes. It has been sighted by deep-sea fishermen and submersible operators, but no verified specimen has ever been captured. Its rainbow shimmer and reclusive habitat make it a favorite in speculative marine biology. Some believe it may be a misidentified oarfish or an undiscovered species adapted to extreme depths.
