Not even fake, here's a news story from 15 years ago featuring the same image: http://phys.org/news/2010-12-million-years-oxygen-drove-evolution.html

That's eight years before Among Us was released. I checked archive.org as well because ... well, it's sus. But they have captures there too, it's not a backdated modern post.

From a 2022 article

Trichoplax adhaerens is one of the three species belonging to the the phylum Placozoa. T. adhaerens is capable of withstanding enormous doses of radiation and is highly resistant to cancer. Researchers hope investigations of such cancer-suppressing mechanisms across the tree of life may advance new methods of cancer prevention and therapy. Credit: Oliver Voigt
