I came to the discussion page to express the exact same thing. I had to google Coelacanth to confirm that it is indeed an ugly mo fo. The current photo uses a Coelacanth glamour shot with bashful eyes and a glowing smile.
Just to add that the "woobie" caption, while sort of funny, isn't really helpful. That sort of thing seems more appropriate for Ugly Cute.
True, but I kind of understand what's being implied. Coelacanths aren't exactly "pretty" like most would view say, a goldfish, but Ugly Cute is subjective.
And besides, just because it's not cute, or falls victim to the not-so-good end of What Measure Is a Non-Cute?, doesn't mean it can't be a woobie.
Shouldn't there be a link and reference to the Fluffy Tamer somewhere on this page?
title? what title?
Could we possibly add a "Troper Tales" page to this? Idk how, but it'd be a good idea for people to rat about their differing views of cute. I.e., rescuing a stray kitty v. rescuing a stray snake/gecko/beetle.

Isn't that what the Just Bugs Me page is for?

I like this trope page, but I think it is too long. For instance, the part about the Antlion could be cut: cool animal, but obscure. And several of the paragraphs could be condensed to include fewer examples in the main body.
What do other people think? Should I jump in and try some changes?
