John, over at ASW, posted this.  There are several cool pictures, but, more importantly, they are of creatures that live in really, really f*cking cold water, which is pretty impressive:

So, I was listening to the radio this morning, and they had a short piece on Moray Eels.  It would seem that, at the back of their throats, Moray's have a second set of teeth, arranged on a second jaw.  When they eat something, this second jaw shoots out from the back of the mouth, alien style, grabs the food, and pulls it in.  There is a movie on NPR's website, as well as a brief story and some pics.

You know, algae turns red when mad - saw something about that on Dirty Jobs. That would be a cool effect in the game, to annoy some algae, then see them slowly turn from green to red. Perhaps if you swim through a cluster of green algae, they slowly turn red. Dirty Jobs said that green means algae is happy, red means they're pissed.

That's a pretty cool idea!

Not sure it would be better as an entity that actually affects you or more of a background effect.

Another random wikipedia article:



It's called a barreleye fish, I think.

It's not that dreaded; it's only a foot long.
It's still cool though  ;)

Another something very interesting I found on youtube ... 8)

Pretty interesting, not sure if you guys are still in need of extra photos, but apparently she's the author of a book full of pictures of weird underwater creatures.. some look very alien-like.

That is more of an octopus, but close enough for me.

This has probably been mentioned, since it's so cool. But here goes....Drum roll.....The Pistol Shrimp!

http://www.educatedearth.net/video.php?id=3366

It shoots a blast of bubbles by cocking and firing its claw, and the "sonic" bubbles can become as hot as the sun. They can shatter a car window under water. Very powerful.
