Dziwne, że o samej Onomie w internecie nie ma praktycznie żadnych informacji - jedyne co znalazłem to na Wikipedii tekst z pierwszego posta. Nawet u Eberharta nie ma ani wzmianki o tym zwierzęciu.
Eberhart podaje jednak informacje o innym zwierzęciu morskim zamieszkującym Rów Mariański. Może to właśnie jest Onoma?

Challenger Deep Flatfish
A flat abyssal Fish of the North Pacific Ocean.
Etymology: Named after the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench.
Physical description: Solelike. Two distinct eyes.
Habitat: Visits or inhabits abyssal oceanic depths where no light penetrates.
Distribution: The Mariana Trench, east of Guam.
Significant sighting: On January 23, 1960, the bathyscaph Trieste, piloted by Jacques Piccard and Donald Walsh, reached a record depth of 35,800 feet (7 miles) in the Challenger Deep. As they touched down on the bottom, a flatfish with two distinct eyes swam away to avoid them.
Possible explanation: Torben Wolff suggested the animal was a Sea cucumber, perhaps the cushion-shaped Galatheathauria aspera, which has an oval shape. Eyes would be of absolutely no use at this depth.
