How many gigs of music or video will that thing hold?

One

The blobfish looks disturbingly like a fat old man.

This one already posted? The menacing Elbow squid: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS0ywe5DUCU"]Elbow squid[/ame].

This one... uurk... nightmares.....

 

[Oni]

That "elbow" squid is definitely creepy. The video clip really makes it too, it doesn't necessarily look like its underwater and its got that night vision thing going on. You could totally set some sound over that with some shouting and gunfire, be just like a movie.

I'm going to a gloat a little bit for a second - I just got vampire squid miniatures!

let's, what weird sea monster stuff hasn't made this thread yet...how about [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrMFPkpxe2Y"]moray eel jaws[/ame]?

Technically not sea creatures, but still almost aquatic: Tubifex Worms
..or maybe otyugh eggsacs?


@Oni: "Wait, soldier, what was that? Back it up." " "I'm... not... sure, sir. It seems-" "Sir, I think it saw us!" *blam* *blam* "Hold your fire! Hold your fire!" "It's coming for us! Kill it! Kill it!" *blam* *blam* *blam! "It won't go down, it won't STAY DOWN!" "For the love of all that's ho--"

Yeah, I had the same thought about the elbow squid

and the sharks and the mysterious black ooze

The black ooze reminds me of that Creep Show segment on the lake. Man that thing still kind of freaks me out.

At first, I thought this thread was going to be about this:

Irreference » Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters

(Bonus live action trailer here: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jZVE5uF24Q&feature=player_profilepage]YouTube - Quirk Classics #2: Book Trailer[/ame] )

That said, those are some pretty awesomely creepy fish-like things. I wish my piracy-themed campaign was still going on... some of those would've made great minions for the Squirming God of the Deep.

That said, those are some pretty awesomely creepy fish-like things.

and great inspiration for Undersea Races
