The barnacle is the creature with the largest penis as a proportion of its overall body size.
Barnacles have the biggest penis-to-body size ratio, with genitalia nearly eight-times their total body length. Barnacles are stuck in place for life, so they use their super-long penises to reach other nearby crustaceans, blindly depositing sperm inside their neighbors. Like flatworms, barnacles are hermaphrodites that can fertilize others, be fertilized or both.
