Hagfish are typically about 12 to 24 inches long, although some species can grow up to 40 inches. They have elongated, eel-like bodies and lack jaws, which gives them a unique appearance among marine creatures. Despite their relatively small size, they are known for their ability to produce large amounts of slime as a defense mechanism.
