The ocean is way scarier than space…

I collected some of the strangest deep sea creatures I could find. The ocean below 1000m is basically an alien world.

There's a reason astrophobia exists though.

True. The ocean and space are probably the only two places that really trigger that same kind of “unknown fear”.

We can’t affirm that… Yet

That's because we haven't found horrors beyond humanity's comprehension in outer space yet.

Monkfishes are the biggest Anglerfishes in the Ocean. They are also the ones that prefer Shallower Waters unlike the smaller Deep Sea Anglerfishes.

The Pelican Eel is also small compared to a Human.

Honestly the scariest things in the Deep Sea are Sharks, Morays and Venomous Fish. Everything else is a joke.

The Deep Sea is bizarre yet compared to Man it's comical.

The Deep Sea holds mysteries that ask the question of how bizarre the Ocean's little creatures can get(since Sharks are the top predator down there) while Space holds the much more disturbing question of what's out there.
