Terrors of the Deep

[Bugaboo]

LET US SPEAK OF THE HORROR THAT DWELL BENEATH THE WAVES (Real horrors, not ones from HP Lovecraft k thanks)
Lets start this off with our friend the goblin shark

Video.
The shark bites the divers sleeve (not because he wants to murder him but because sharks bite things to identify it like an infant) and then he gets his teeth stuck so they have to help him get unstuck.
Here's a gif of that video that's 9001x clearer and for the youtube impaired

And a model of one.

Good news is they're not dangerous :mrgreen:

Just sharks, or any deep sea creature? Because I love me some vampire squids.

Look at those things. They're so got dang neat.

And of course, what kind of deep sea creature thread with this be without the Angler Fish?

And of course, these things (polychaete worms):

Deep sea creatures are so bizarre, I love them so much.

Transformers: Squid in disguise!

He has suck pretty eyes, you can look in them forever~ <3


And here's my favorite: The giant marine isopod

The reason they look like those little pill bugs you see in your basement sometimes is because they are those little pill bugs you see in your basement sometimes
And uh, this

Sometimes fishermen catch them when they fish for lobsters and they usually toss them back unless someone wants to feed them Doritos (which they'd probably eat)
Or if the Japanese want to do this

I can't decide which one's cuter! (Spoiler: it's the isopod.)

I like him because he looks like a grumpy old man fish. And he was bootiful fins.
And he reminds me of the majestic flounder

(This is a replica of a caught flounder)

LOOK AT HIS STUPID FACE.

No it's from your worst nightmares
In reality it was rediscovered in the mid 1800's and before that they thought it had on extinct. It's just a living fossil, most of those things are freaky as shit.

Coelcanths! (Relicanth was based on these!) The dinosaur fishies!

And how can you not forget this little guy?

Whenever I see those things, I'm compelled to start crying in sheer terror.

Damn, those are some pretty eyes.

They are, but they also look like some kid ran them over with a bicycle.
