"There are multiple leviathan-class lifeforms detected in this region. Are you sure that whatever you doing is worth it?"

One of the best games of the past decade for me.

Ooo! That last one has long fascinated me. It's a Siphonophore called Praya Dubia. They can get as long as 160 feet long!

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 9 months ago

Just what I came to the comments for. Thanks for the link

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Siphonophores are all fascinating and Praya especially so!

'Wait what is that' is a bigfin squid, they live in the deep and are hard to find because of that. That's just a juvenile, that's why it's not that big.

Bro, what do you consider big??

That website really is infected with advertisement cancer

Comments like yours make me glad I can block ads easily on my phone haha.. Sometimes I forget what the "normal" experience looks like

It’s the Humbolts you gotta be worried about. These guys mostly just lurk and silently judge your music choices.

Eldritch abomination looking ass

Giant isopods are so fucking cool and I hope they know it.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 15 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I just hope they stay in the deep sea...

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

They Will Rise. They Will Swarm. They Will Rule.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

They're so used to the high-pressure environment of the deep ocean that they'd just explode into something resembling jelly or phlegm if they came to the surface

Soon everything will be deep sea

Dennis looks like the ripper from Metroid

[–] ursakhiin@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

I believe Dennis is actually a Slipper Crab, though

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Dennis is the cool neighbor that always shares his weed. And the squid is a master mixologist who’s just waiting to take your order.

The, glowy rope thing… kinky, but seriously not worth it.

Don't forget Reginald!!

It's a magnapinna. Maybe because of the legs, we don't judge 😁
