Look ! Don't tell me it's not a good design for a scary monster, and it's made in nature !

Seeing as how the deep sea is easily the most scary thing for me ever, I would probably be unable to play a deep sea horror game.

Just the idea of huge things in the ocean, or going so deep that you can't even see the light at the surface anymore, it's so ****ing scary.

Bioshock doesn't count cuz it's indoors mostly... something like Dead Space underwater could be both really awesome and the frightening as ****.

The one in the picture is like 4-5 Meters long, so the biggest ones are 3x this, and there might be even bigger ones.

Unlike the giant squid, whose arms and tentacles only have suckers lined with small teeth, the Colossal Squid's limbs are also equipped with sharp hooks: some swivelling, others three-pointed

But see they want you to buy their games too, and sea creatures are just TOO FREAKY.

People would be too freaked out and never want to play the game.

Too big for their own good. But just imagine, their bones are probably on the bottom of the ocean floor.

Posting French version because on the French page it says that the location where the Bloop originated is really close to the location of the Lovecraftian city of R'lyeh, also it is really close from Point Nemo.

As kind-of-creepy as most of these have been, prehistoric ocean > modern ocean in terms of scariness.

We know so little about our oceans though ! The scariest things have probably not been discovered.

Also, for those looking for more on the whale eater, it's apparently called the raptorial sperm whale.

Even its scientific name contains Leviathan.

This creature was the baddest mother f***er in the ocean.

12-13 million years doesn't sound that long all of a sudden.

Man there is some horrifying s*** in the deep ocean, but I would so love a game that took place down there. I'm very fascinated by the sea and I love underwater settings.
