Mr Blobby is a specimen of Psychrolutes microporos, known for being the subject of an image macro meme reading "Go home evolution, you're drunk".
[2] Although in its normal habitat P. microporos has a sleeker look due to pressure, once brought to the surface Mr Blobby swelled, with a softer appearance.
[1] After taking a more standard scientific image of the specimen, Parkinson decided it was "comical, charismatic and grumpy", photographing it from the front as well.
[4] In 2010, the photograph was featured in the Australian television show The Gruen Transfer, where advertising agencies were asked to design campaigns to 'save the blobfish'.
by Kes Gray[6][7] Though not a taxonomically significant specimen of Psychrolutes microporos, Mr Blobby has been described as indicative of our limited knowledge of ocean fauna.
