Banjo Catfish

The banjo catfish's whole body plan is a disguise: a wide, flattened head narrowing into a slender tail, shaped uncannily like the instrument that gave it its common name, colored to match dead leaves and silt. Bury it in fine sand with just the eyes showing and it'll sit motionless for hours, ambushing anything that wanders close enough — camouflage doing the hunting instead of speed.
