The Internet has fried my brain. All I can think of when I hear the phrase "bad dude" is the old meme spoofing the intro to Bad Dudes for NES:

EVO was a gem.
Damnit, now I'm gonna have to replay it again...
Same. At least it can be completed in like an hour.
Thatβs a bad dude
I believe it's called a Coalacanth
Not a terrible guess, but that's the even larger Dunkleosteus terrelli.
you're right!
I recognize that fish, that's an exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Haven't been there in a long time.
THAT'S where I know it from! I went about two years ago.
his name is Darryl
Oh the annoying guys to hunt in Dave the Diver!
It's always great to see a big Dunk.
America runs on Dunk... no wait oh no no swim away as fast as you can don't run on it!
Soooo many fishes could fit that description, but Iβm glad my dude found his bad dude. Like, dude.
Somebody made a STL you can print

Now print it at full size!
Uh, listen Bro. All that sushi i ate before? Just a misunderstanding, right?
It looks like Brak.
I'm not a biologist and this may be a stupid question, but are this monster's eyes armored? Armored eyeballs?
Your orbits are similar. The hole is where the optic nerve goes.

Not arguing with you, but what's up with that "bone ring" they have in their orbit? We don't have that.
That's a Scleral Ring and helps to keep the shape of the eye in fish, many reptiles, and birds. Fish don't have round eyes (they're shaped more like M&Ms or chocolate chips), and the ring helps support the shape when swimming. Most rings are just cartilage, but fast swimmers often have bony rings.
Thank you, I had no idea that reptiles and birds have eyeball rings, too.
Based on this angle, I think you might be more correct. I thought it was recessed.
Awww he's winking at me!
How does my hair look?
You think he's into me?
You a snack bae
Noice!
What a bonehead
it's in animal crossing (new horizons?)
