Oreosomatidae, the oreos, are a family of marine fish. Most species are found in the Southern Hemisphere, inhabiting continental slopes down to about 1,000 m (3,300 ft) deep. Most of them are 43 cm at most, with the largest species reaching a length of 60 cm. Though they are small, they often have incredibly elongated lifespans, probable result of living in the deep sea with the warty oreo being able to live up to 210 years, which puts it at one of the longest living vertebrates on Earth. They borrow their name from the Greek oreos (mountain) and somas (backs) for the shape of their backs. They are very flattened vertically-laterally, with 5 to 8 rays in their dorsal fin, and 2 to 4 in the anal fin, and only 1 spine in the pelvic fins. The upper part of the mouth is protractile, allowing them to snatch up little fishes, copepods, amphypods, shrimp, krill, and small cephalopods, their main diet.

The coloration of this organism is mostly brown and tan markings on its snout side, head's dorsum, side of the trunk, and venter of the tail. It is only known from a few juvenile specimens collected off southern Morocco and Gambia at depths to 79m. Little is known about its feeding habits, but it is expected to feed on small crustaceans, similar to other pipefish.
