Dunno the Uber Creature List got changed, too. Maybe someone found über to be offensive or something xD
Or ü's just don't go well on some browsers.

Okay, we've had some good, typical monster fishes. Weird fish, cool fish, freaky fish, photoshopped fish.

But, we haven't seen anything... well... Bad

Until now.

Ladys and Gentlefish, I now introduce you to...

The Mantis Shrimp



Is it just me or does this thing exactly look like the lobster boss in The Ice Veil (the one throwing bombs at you)?

Edit2: found an alternate link for that pic

here is a picture of a Wolf Eel


and heres a few pictures of Sea Spiders.


It may be hard to tell what this is at first glance as it's all bunched up, but it is a sea spider, and its feeding on a sea anemone.


here is a Deep sea, sea spider.


I don't know what species the devs got inspired by, probably one of the bulkier looking species.

Hah, this freaky fish parasite thing a few posts up is actually somewhere in the game, too ;)

There's actually a kinda neat secret involving that guy.

Really? I can't remember having seen a parasite in a fish's mouth... hm...

No one has mentioned this strange life form? its a Coelacanth. Thought to be extinct (like all other things).

Post all your weird/awesome underwater creature pics and info here!

I'll start with this prehistoric shark that was discovered recently near Japan:



Quote
Flaring the gills that give the species its name, a frilled shark swims at Japan's Awashima Marine Park on Sunday, January 21, 2007. Sightings of living frilled sharks are rare, because the fish generally remain thousands of feet beneath the water's surface.

Video of the shark in action!  Unfortunately it died shortly only hours after it arrived at the park. :'(

Fish like this will not survive in captivity. Sadly, human ignorance is to blame for it's death. It's body was probably oversaturated with oxygen since it's gills are designed to filter large amounts due to the low oxygen at the depth levels it usually lives in.

actually, I think the fishermen may have found it near the surface. So if they did, the animal may have already been sick or dying.

Mantis Shrimp FTW, though:

I'll see your Mantis Shrimp and raise you three Isopods:

An endearing tongue eating/replacing Isopod:



This picture is making me so damned sick.  I want to believe that's not real.
He looks very happy though ;)
Pleased even.

You know, these things just live there and skim the food the fish is eating off. The fish probly dosnt notice. However, I am willing to bet the things the fish are eating dont appreciate being eaten by the fish then being eaten agian by the isopod. Also, I think it looks kinda like my alchaolic but lovably gruff uncle Paulie.

Just read through this entire thread, I am NOT going to be able to sleep tonight.
Those are some pretty heavy disturbing creatures. >.>

Makes me wonder what's in the deepest parts of the ocean.
God sees and knows everything, but at least he won't gossip about it.
