Horrors from the Deep!

[Canid117]

It is pretty simple really what is the most terrifying fish/invertebrate/abomination from beneath the waves and what would you want protecting you from it?

I personally do not want to run into a megasized colossal squid.

They have huge beaks and spikes on their tentacles.

What would I want to have protecting me from such a horror?

A killer whale would work.

Smart, big, surprisingly friendly to humans considering their size and they travel in fucking packs!

So what do you fear that lives beneath the briny deep? And what would you want to protect yourself from it?

Note: Please only list animals that are confirmed to exist or have existed at some point in history. Yes I am doing this to prevent the Cthulhu/Narwhal combo. I have heard that song a few too many times in the last 3 days.

If I'm going to die, I'm killing every damned thing within a one mile radius.

Well it doesn't actually exist and you didn't list what from beneath the ocean is the most terrifying but hey I see why you chose it.

does it have to be real or still alive
mostly one of these bad boys

a fucking megalodon
and i think the only concievable way to stop it is another megalodon under my control with "friken lazer beams attached to its head"

Fuck Pikachu. If I see a SINGLE Jigglipuff, I'm going to strangle it to death, then strangle it some more, and give it one last strangle just to be sure it's soul isn't dead.

There is no protection...

I stated that it has to either exist or have existed in the past so yes a Megalodon would qualify. Though there was a type of sperm what that was the megalodons contemporary that was the only sea creature capable of fighting with and surviving a fight with one. Forget the name though as I saw this on the discovery channel a few years ago.

Jellyfish!! I don't want anyone to have to pee on me >.<

IT HAS TO HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO HAVE EXISTED AT SOME POINT! CTHULHU AND THE OTHER GREAT OLD ONES DO NOT QUALIFY! ALSO NARWHALS!

 

[Extraintrovert]

I would never go anywhere near water in which sea wasps live. They are tiny, ridiculously deadly and almost entirely transparent, making identifying them before they get you slightly more than difficult.

 

[Lolth17]

Sharktopus. That is all.

Edit: It has to 'exist,' huh? eh... this thing is pretty scary looking:

Spoiler

I think it's like a giant sea louse or something. I certainly would not want to meet one. Ever.

 

[Canid117]

Sharktopus. That is all.

Fuck it I give up.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Hmm...I'll have to go with the Kraken or this thing.

 

[Sacman]

Chimera!!!

or the creature from the black lagoon...

Edit: damn ninja!!!

 

[Lolth17]

Sharktopus. That is all.

Fuck it I give up.

I put a real one up there But seriously, asking Escapists about their favorite sea monster type thingy is just asking for ridiculous links.

 

[Dana22]

Mega Shark is the king of the oceans.

Narwhals definitely exist dude; so I'm guessing that's a meme I'm not getting.

Besides. this is kind of a wierd topic since humans aren't used to escaping danger in the water - we're terrestrial organisms.

Spoiler: Don't fight your biology

(If you snickered, you're officially going to hell)

 

[Something Amyss]

I'd call on Nyarlathotep, though I suspect he would use me for his own sinister purposes.
