Lore

Sun
Its form has remained the same for one hundred million years. Its body is filled with fat, so it can withstand the water pressure of the deep sea.

Moon
It was fortuitously discovered during a deep sea expedition. Its teeth have atrophied, so it now survives on microscopic organisms it sucks up.
