What are you afraid of? Spiders? Snakes? Giant creatures? Or even aliens? No matter what it is, you can find it at the bottom of the ocean. The thing is that they are just fish, very weird fish. From beauties like the firefly squid that looks like it came straight out of the Avatar(2009) franchise, to the horrible angler fish we all saw on Finding Nemo(2003) (the one with the dangly light). The sea is full of surprises, and it is very interesting to see where evolution can lead. Especially when under unbearable conditions such as the ones in the bottom of the ocean.Â
After a quick search, the most nightmarish creatures I found were: the giant isopod, which is basically a 40 cm cockroach; the gulper eel, which just looks like a big-faced wrong and evil fish; the viperfish, that looks so cursed it is ready to rip my soul out; the hagfish, which is a huge slimy worm with a face only a mother could love. And shout-out to the snipe eel that looks like a piece of old fabric; a very funny guy.Â
