I. Introduction: The Biological Enigma
The clandestine Department of Justice operation of 1927–28 has provided the scientific community—albeit under strict federal gag orders—with a chilling opportunity to examine the "Innsmouth Look" beyond mere folklore. The following findings are based on the clinical examination of three hundred detainees at the federal facility in Georgia and the subsequent necropsies of twenty-four non-human cadavers recovered from the reef waters off Devil Reef.
II. Genetic Compatibility and Chromosomal Parallelism
Preliminary microscopic analysis of cellular nuclei from both "hybrid" and "full" Deep One specimens reveals a startling anomaly.

Description
An old rusty Innsmouth fishhook with 5 barbed "tentacle" hooks. It's posed over a 1920s ivory and iron hook to show scale.
Innsmouth produced numerous types of odd hooks for the fishing aficionado/collector and the iron "Octo" series were interesting as they inherently acted as weighted sinkers.
After the raid on Innsmouth, these have grown in value and rarity. A curious part of fishing ephemera.

Made of Super Sculpey, aged to look rusty. I based the rusty color off of the real 1920s era fishhook it's posed upon.
