[And it’s grown another eye and lost its one horn!!!](http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/strange-purple-sea-creatures-found-in-deep-ocean-trenches/ar-AAjf45y?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=iehp)

AWWW!!! It’s so cute!!!

Apparently it lives in ocean trenches in between playing in its rock ‘n’ roll band.

They found it when their sonar went “A wop bob boopalap a boom bam boom.”:D:D:D:D:D:D

The [_Flying_ Purple People Eater](https://www.google.com/search?q=flying+purple+eater+hot+air+balloon&rlz=1C1SAVI_enUS598US598&tbm=isch) has been known to have two eyes for some time. I have personally seen it numerous times to verify these images are accurate; kinda scary how closely one resembles the other.
