Deep Sea Spooks.
We have only explored about 10% of earth's oceans.
The lowest KNOWN point is 34 000 feet below the surface.
What do you think lurks down there guys?

For reference, each of these arms are about the length of a flagpole.
The ocean is terrifying to me because 1. we know what IS out there, 2. we DON'T know what else is out there, 3. vast nothingness 4. Cthulhu
But on the bright side, maybe Godzilla

>what's down there
Mud. Trash. Some worms and crabs and a few fish.
>the lowest known point
The lowest point. The floor of the ocean has been extensively mapped. You can argue about what sort of resolution it's been mapped in, but there aren't any undiscovered deep sea trenches.
>>17852464
Looks like you missed the point.
The sphere gave the power to manifest things, which is what the first guy kept doing unintentionally.
His book reading and his innermost fears caused the spooky eels, the giant squid and everything to literally manifest physically in the real world.
>>17851511
He looks friendly.

>What do you think lurks down there guys?
I'm a zoologist so for me all creatures have to belong to a known phylum or class.
I imagine some strange kinds of fish (including sharks) or molluscs (bigger than a giant squid) lurking deep below.
Perhaps a giant sea worm exists.
Squid are my favourite as they are intelligent and powerful creatures.
>>17854647
What do you think about the sustainability of giant creatures? They must have to eat tons.
>>17854656
Not him, but I think most giant sea creatures would probably live off microorganisms, the same way whales live off of krill.
The fact that we think deep sea monsters are huge fish or serpents with big scary teeth that want to eat us and our ships is movies and games' fault.
>>17854656
They are very sustainable. Proof of this is the giant squid.
Large deep sea creatures either migrate to shallower depths at night time to feed on the abundant food, or they simply eat very little and grow at a very slow rate, living for many decades, perhaps hundreds of years. Whale carcasses often sink to the bottom which could feed a large creature.
They could live in the depths, conserving energy, and then occasionally attack and feed on large sharks, squid or whales, in an ambush attack.
>>17854670
I'll just add, this is one of my favourite deep sea mysteries:
Great white was eaten by a SUPERSIZED deep sea shark
http://metro.co.uk/2014/06/26/ten-year-mystery-solved-great-white-was-eaten-by-a-supersized-deep-sea-shark-4777152/
http://sploid.gizmodo.com/mystery-solved-heres-the-animal-that-ate-the-9-foot-gr-1587429691
>>17854670
And whose to say there aren't giant, undiscovered herbivore/scavenger creatures roaming the deep ocean floors serving as food for the other giants down there.
Imagine a ridiculously oversized hermit crab for example.
![Cave-Animals[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/zucCmfC.jpg "Cave-Animals[1].jpg")
>>17851451
I wonder why we don't see more oceanic cave threads. To me, those are scarier and have more of a chance to harbor cryptids. Gravity in so much deep sea will flatten anything supremely giant in there or turn them into a blobby mess. Nothing other than colossal squids have been found that could hurt us, but underwater caves...
I remember an /x/ post about a bunch of Navy SEAL dudes going into such a cave then getting attacked by aquatic apes or some shit.
>>17854688
Could be giant crabs. Especially because crabs are scavengers. Maybe they grow to be monster sized, and remain dormant until a dead whale sinks near them every couple of decades, then they feed.
>>17854690
Another scary thing about water caves is the divers who go into them, get stuck and drown. There is a video of a guy trying to recover a body from a freshwater cave, and he panics and gets tangled up himself and drowns. The camera just keeps going. His body is perhaps still down there.

It wouldn't make sense for there to be anything remotely large on the ocean floor. Not enough food. Big body = Big caloric requirements.
![28911a0ef90873a043b9df974cd1d74f.900x507x1[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/eY0mW2L.jpg "28911a0ef90873a043b9df974cd1d74f.900x507x1[1].jpg")
>>17854774
Maybe not on the actual floor, but the level where deep diving whales and giant squid hang out might still house some undiscovered giants.
A gigantic, slow-moving, low metabolism creature with a large mouth could potentially swim around down there scooping up everything from anglerfish to the various bioluminescent jellies swimming around down there. There is plenty of life in the deep my friend.
I mean we KNOW giant squid exist now, and they say there is always a bigger fish.

Im working on a video game at the moment and have been playing around with the idea of adding a spooky deep sea area, im just not sure how I want to implement it yet.
Any ideas /x/? Its a first person adventure/platforming/puzzle type of game. The deep sea area can be its own level with whatever style movement/mechanics.
>>17854830
Here are the base ingredients to make a sea level spooky.
>dark abysses without visible bottoms
>giant sea creatures moving JUST within visible range (pic related)
>glowing eyes visible of otherwise hidden/obscured creatures
>good ambient sounds of whale song-like rumbling and roars
Remember to always keep in mind our fear of the unknown. Don't show too much, keep most of it in the dark. Just do enough to let the player know that he is not alone in the deep dark, and whatever is there with him is BIG.
>>17854830
do some research into giant isopods and giant sea scorpions. anything prehistoric scares the shit out of me, since insects during that time grew VERY big because of the high O2 concentration in earths atmosphere (due to how an exoskeleton works).

>>17854850
>There is a yeti crab, pic related.
But was it THIC?
>>17854842
Good idea about never really showing anything fully, or at least rarely. The visual style already has a sense of darkness to it, but in a pleasing way contrasted by glowing objects so it will be fun transitioning to full underwater darkness and changing the mood with ambient sound/audio changes.
>>17854845

>>17854912
Thanks.
No, I dont have any plans for the area. I wasnt sure about it, but its grown on me and i think im going to start brainstorming it out.
I honestly cant draw well so I often just make all the models abstractly and play around until things look right. My "concept art" is really laughable, its just more of a starting point for the 3d work.
That pic looks fucking neato, i think ill do a part similar to that.
it's sad that some people still think that megalodon is still alive.
>>17854670
Vertical migration
>>17851451
Do you really believe that there is anything large? Mass = more energy to move and fuel cells.
More energy needed = higher caloric needs.
Deep ocean = less sunlight = less life = less calories
Everything in the deep is going to be small.

Darkness is a must. Perhaps navigate inside of a submarine. Going too deep causes leaks/ can lead to the sub imploding. Perhaps have it so. The sub just about to collapse rightbefore you dock at the underwater station or somthing. The most terrifying thing about the deep arent the sea monsters.. its the water pressure.

I wish you could go deeper in that game. I reached the abyssal drop off, and went all the way to the bottom, but there's nothing after the drop off, no abyssal plain, no spookily creatures, the map just ends.
>>17852473
We know very basic topography and have photos and videos of a very ridiculously small percent of the abyssal plain and below. As far as detailed geography and possible fauna capable of surviving the extreme pressure, we can't say with any certainty what we might have missed so far.

How have they even mapped %10 of the ocean? also who knows about tunnels and other weird shit down there.
I think our first mistake is assuming life in the abyss would resemble anything we currently understand, let alone behave the same metabolically or biologically. I suppose logical assumptions can be made, and I have little to refute those arguments that would be made against me, though I'm in no way put off from my curiosities because I lack evidence. The mysteries of the deep will serve to fascinate generations to come and inspire them to explore their imaginations long into their adult lives. Nigger.

Soma was pretty fun but it got old after about halfway through and i quit playing it.
Almost everything nowadays is so cliche and I cant get into any game that takes itself too seriously. The best part of soma was the philosophical aspects. The environment is neat but I dont think there was ever a moment where I felt scared when you explore outside the underwater labs.
Im trying to avoid all the cliche things like underwater bases, "avoid the scary monster by running away" repeat, submarines etc.
I think im going to make it feel more like its a mix between being underwater in darkness but having the environment change around you into an outer space sort of style for a disembodied feeling.
>>17856989
If the atmosphere went away, then yes; among many other things, the oceans, rivers, lakes, etc. would all boil. But really we'd be so many layers of fucked and dead that all the water on the planet's surface boiling away would be the least of our problems.

There was actually a great thread I can remember on /tg/ where a deep-sea biologist or somesuch actually gave a rundown of the layers of the deep ocean and all the fucking weird shit that lives down there.
My main takeaway. Part of it is just 'The Midnight Zone,' divided into upper and lower sections. And for some reason I just love the idea that 'The Lower Midnight Zone' is a real place that scientists talk about.

>What do you think lurks down there guys?
Potentially, the largest organism ever. Not like a vertebrate, though. More like some massive, sprawling blob of chemosynthetic threads, all around deep-sea vents. It could potentially feed on other deep-sea creatures as a secondary source of nutrients (maybe it has tendrils with glowing lights that attract the fish, which then get caught up by it, pulled into the mass, and then slowly digested), but it won't be able to actually move anywhere and won't even need a brain.

Life as we know and recognize it MUST have water to survive/evolve.
If its possible for life to develop without water, it would be in a form we humans would fail to recognize as a living creature.

>>17859919
Any of the things that would cause the oceans to dry up would kill us and every other complex lifeform on the planet right quick. We'd all be dead before the water even finished evaporating. And, if this were to happen before we colonize any other planets, anyone in space would be doomed since there would be no one left on Earth to send them supplies. Hell, the Earth wouldn't even be habitable by humans. Of course, there's also the fact that most of the things that could do it would also kill the shit out of anything on the moon, in orbit, or - hell - on the surrounding planets.
>>17859947
You are absolutely right of course, but simply as a thought experiment: What if 99.9% of earth's water vanished without any other harmful effects taking place?

This is a huge exaggeration. This Specimen was about 4 - 5 meters long total. Giant squid do not get that big, their bodies are just over 2 meters long and their tentacles can be 3 times that. Almost all evidence points to them being slow and weak as well.
>>17854670
This is incorrect.
The Giant squid is not as large as it is made out to be, its stomach is tiny and its esophagus is only 1 cm wide with very little stretching capability since it runs directly through its brain. It eats very little, and it uses very little energy to hunt, compared to animals from shallow waters it's incredibly weak too.
"Large deep sea creatures", "Living for many decades" No. Below the mesopelagic zone there's very little in the way of large creatures, let alone predators. The largest deep water predators are Sleeper sharks, which bottom out at 2000m and spend most of their time in shallower water anyway. The majority of life at extreme depth is centered around hydrothermal vents, getting nutrients exclusively from chemotrphic bacteria. Sorry to burst your bubble there.
>>17854784
We've known Giant squid exist for centuries, the fucking useless things wouldnt stop washing up on shore, we just hadn't seen a live one till 2005 because they spend most of their time below 800m, which is difficult to film in anyway, let alone trying to find a single animal to film down there. I think you mistake the geography of the deep ocean. Because most fish stop appearing below the middle of the bathypelagic. And anything wishing to filter feed would need to be in the mesopelagic, and would have certainly been noticed by now. For reference by the way the average baleen whale has to eat around 900-4000 KG of Kryll/small fish PER DAY. That kind of biomass doesn't exist in the deep ocean.

Deep Sea Gigantism effects only invertebrates, and so far the only things of significance are slightly larger cephalopod species than average, that also come with downsides. Mainly life at depth reduces almost all muscle tissue to jelly, because to deal with that pressure tissues have to regulate to be closer to the density of water. They also have a very low metabolic rate and are as such lethargic ambush predators. Which, P.S don't even get THAT large on average.

Fucking nothing because the pressure is so fucking intense that nothing but the most benign creatures could exist. So little energy reaches that depth that it can hardly even sustain the few small organisms that live there. Nothing bigger than a cow could exist. Even that's stretching it. The pressure at 36,000ft is 2.2 million pounds per square foot.

I hate this "only 10% of the ocean has been mapped" myth. Exxon, Chevron, BP, the and all the navies of all the major countries in the world have had full oceanographic mappings of the oceans for decades.
>She is noteworthy as a U.S. Navy vessel that has apparently been attacked by an unknown species of giant squid. In 1978, the "NOFOUL" rubber coating of her AN/SQS-26 sonar dome was damaged by multiple cuts over 8 percent of the dome surface. Nearly all of the cuts contained remnants of sharp, curved claws found on the rims of suction cups of some squid tentacles. The claws were much larger than those of any squid that had been discovered at that time.[3]

Kinda apples and oranges.
SOMA is more of a story-based, narrative RPG style game where most of the horror is largely existential (and thereby cerebral) in nature, but which (in my very humble opinion) does a good job of creating an oppressive atmosphere during its admittedly few openly deep-ocean segments. Most of the genuine horror, though, is less from the setting itself, and more from the questions it raises about the nature of self.
Subnautica, by contrast, isn't a horror game - its more of an exploration/survival game with some light minecaft-style resource gathering and base-building elements. However, the ENTIRE setting is the ocean, so as you explore deeper, the deep ocean (and the aggressive, alien creatures that live down there) become more of the focus. Though I'm not nearly as familiar with it as I am SOMA, so anyone who is feel free to correct me.
TL;DR: SOMA is a horror game that happens to feature the ocean, Subnautica is an ocean game that happens to feature some horror.

This would be fucking terrifying. Cloudy water is bad enough, but it'd be like if sharks could fly down there. Only land if you catch some murder fish you got land on your side. Underwater it is like running from a bird.

This is some stupid shit to say. I doubt you could find a legit oceanographer saying that.
1. The sea floor is always changing due to tectonic plates shifting - trenches of certain sizes may come and go over so many years
2. There could be very deep but not very wiDE trenches all across the ocean that no one has found because we don't care that much about the bottom of the ocean
3. They don't really have Alvin subs searching the floor 24/7 and really isn't explored in that great of detail (most research done by sonar-not precise)
4. You're a fucking moron go back to school

I thoroughly enjoyed SOMA. The whole game is pretty damn spooky and they do a great job of making the "I'm thousands of feet beneath the ocean" theme really feel distressing.
The best part is going down to the abyssal plain where you can barely see 10 feet in front of you because the darkness is so thick, and the spoopies are out in full force.

>>17865431
Actually I'm a Marine Biology Masters student who spent a semester studying extreme marine habitats. Lemme just help you out here. The oarfish undertakes diel migrations and don't exist deeper than the mesopelagic zone, they're just rarely seen in the shallows because they migrate at night. Therefore they cannot be considered to be affected by it. The sleeper shark likewise cannot be considered to be affected by it, and the deepwater stingray is also another species that ranges between the epipelagic and the mesopelagic and not below 700 meters at its absolute lowest, not to mention its size isn't significantly larger than other stingray species. Considering the Giant freshwater stingray is much much larger it's feasible that it's just a large species of stingray.
All of the other species named there are invertebrates, and they're the only species that show a significant increase in size from the average of other members of the species, for example the deep sea isopod and the various species of cephalopods you fucking ingrate.
>>17865244
I can link a few papers if you'd like, but the basic gist is that the mesopelagic and the bathypelagic take up 75% of inhabitable space in the ocean. The mesopelagic (200-1000m) still receives light and has relatively manageable levels of dissolved oxygen and nutrients, pressures here are also not as crushing meaning that fish species that live there are able to do so without being hugely adapted, the conditions allow for greater numbers and around 65% of deep sea fish biomass is accounted for by mesopelagic lantern fish, bristlemouths account for a lot as well.
However, deeper than 1000m, in the Bathypelagic zone, its uniformly oligotrophic, dissolved oxygen is incredibly low and to combat the pressures, fish tissues are incredibly watery, almost reduced to jelly making them weak and necessitating a sedentary lifestyle. All fish species that live in the abyssopelagic are miniature, most no longer than 25 cm long and the reason they are almost all uniformly adapted to have large mouths, and distending stomachs is because prey is so scarce and difficult to come across that they ensure they can eat whatever prey they find, big or small. Another indicator that the Abyssopelagic is too sparsely populated to host a filter feeding animal is that almost every single species down there has a specialized way of reproducing, because finding a mate is so unlikely.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, a filter feeder needs between 900-4000kg of small fish per day to sustain itself. That kind of fish weight is feasible in the mesopelagic zone because it's quite densely populated. But deeper than that it wouldn't be able to survive.

Good thing there's tons to eat.
There's so much stuff living and dying in the upper levels of the ocean that the water column is host to a continuous downfall of what's dubbed "marine snow."
Think a 24/7 blizzard of corpse particles and waste blanketing the seafloor for miles. That's a lot of kilocalories, son.
Granted, it's pretty much all accounted for by models based on known benthic communities, but you never know what might be preying on *them*.
