Hymenopenaeus doris is a species of prawn in the family Solenoceridae. They live in the Eastern Pacific in areas like Mexico, Peru, and Costa Rica, from depths of 549 to 4802 meters. [1]

They play dead in order to not be eaten by predators; they drift motionless while playing dead, having the name "zombie shrimp". They might also be saving energy, since their depth has little oxygen, so creatures cannot swim rapidly for long periods of time. [2]
