Researchers aboard a vessel in Antarctica have found a creature that has 20 arms.

The newfound species, named Promachocrinus fragarius, or the Antarctic strawberry feather star, has a distinct body figure which makes it look unearthly.

The creature possesses two types of appendages, with the lower, shorter arms exhibiting a striped and bumpy texture, while the upper, longer arms appear feathered and soft.

The lower body of the Antarctic strawberry feather star presents a triangular shape, wider at the top and tapering towards a rounded bottom tip.

The surface showcases a textured, bumpy appearance adorned with circle-like indents, possibly remnants of broken-off arms.

Researchers found the species throughout the Southern Ocean in depths ranging from 215 to 3840 feet.
