According to this website:
"A team of American-led divers has discovered a new crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster and is covered with what looks like silky, blond fur, French researchers said Tuesday.
Scientists said the animal, which they named Kiwa hirsuta, was so distinct from other species that they created a new family and genus for it.
In what [the scientists] described as a 'surprising characteristic,' the animal's pincers are covered with sinuous, hair-like strands.
It is also blind. The researchers found it had only 'the vestige of a membrane' in place of eyes, Segonzac said."
This is what I imagine this new creature to look like. I've named him Captain Awesome.
