If you’ve ever looked at a garden roly-poly and thought, “But what if it were the size of a cat and lived in crushing darkness?” then Bathynomus giganteus is your guy. Found 170–2,140 meters down, these giant isopods can reach 50 cm long and serve as the deep sea’s armored clean-up crew, scavenging whatever unfortunate snacks drift to the ocean floor. This hard enamel pin brings its segmented armor and alien charm to life—without the whole “gasping for air at sea level” issue.
Specs:
- Premium metal base with hard enamel detailing
- Secure clasp for trench-grade stability
- Size: 43 x 28mm
- Zero chance of scuttling under your fridge
Perfect for marine biology nerds, deep-sea enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys the rare combo of scientific accuracy and unsettling charm.
