It is covered in dense, black feathers on its body, blue feathers on its neck and white feathers on its face. It has a black casque on its head, the casque is also called a helmet. It has a red wattle, or bare, fleshy pouches of skin that hang from the neck. 3.	It is a type of fish in orange color. It is rounded in shape with a long growth sprouting from the head. It has huge head and enormous crescent-shaped mouths filled with sharp, translucent teeth.
