Enneapterygius namarrgon, the lightning man triplefin, is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Enneapterygius.[2] It was described by the German ichthyologist Ronald Fricke in 1997.[3] The specific name refers to Namarrgon, the Lightning man who makes lightning appear and creates roars of thunder in storms, a mythical figure in western Arnhem Land, as does the common name.[4] This species is endemic to the Gove Peninsula in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. The IUCN classifies this species as Endangered because it has a small range and is threatened by mining for bauxite.[1]
