They typically have flattened bodies, a short tail, and a long, slender body. The head of an alligator fish is large and round; it is covered in scales and often has teeth.

Definition: The term "amberfishes" appears to be a metaphorical reference in English literature, most famously in the poem "The Amber Spyglass" by William Shakespeare (1564-1616), which translates as "Gibbering monsters." The phrase suggests that this creature, identified as Amberfish, is a maniacal and malicious fellow who is always speaking gibberish. In more modern contexts, the word could refer to a metaphorical figure of speech in literature. In Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," the character Prospero uses the term "amberfish" to describe his love for Miranda, suggesting that he is being manipulated by her and her love for him, which he perceives as an amber-colored object or person. In this way, "amberfishes" can be interpreted metaphorically in literature to represent a maniacal character or figure of speech.
