I think of the construction "___-looking" as taking only adjectives,
not nouns. I don't recall seeing "N-looking" before this item:

A sperm-looking creature called monosiga is the closest living
surrogate to the ancestor of all animals, according to new research
that also determined animal evolution may not always follow a
trajectory from simple to complex.
