I kind of hate all these drawings of giant creatures being seen by a diver or a pirate vessel. If there are giant monster-like creatures in the ocean, they wouldn't be able to survive anywhere close to the surface. It's immersion breaking.

Is there any sea predator in Earth's history that can take on a Reaper Leviathan? They're 55 meters (160 feet) and presumably have the mass akin to an adult blue whale, but which a much higher metabolism that demands constant raw meat.
The only thing that could remotely fight back may be a Megalodon.

I used to believe creatures of this size would be possible in the ocean...but now that i actually think about it, in order for something to have that much mass, it would need dozens/hundreds of times more food to live,it would be noticed if something that big were alive, unless they just use the whale tactic and eat crill and other small organisms that swim in huge numbers, but then it would be lame

I figured it out, it was reminiscent of this.
The fear of the ocean is not the fear of drowning, is the fear of being noticed by something else before you have the time to drown.
I can tell one a million stories of older sailors telling of the horrid fish they had found, including sharks we don't even know to think they existed.
You should be careful though, beneath the ocean floor, you are always, always, but always...being watched. There, in the darkeness. What "can" you do?

I read a hentai comic where a girl's dad comes home from fishing with some fish with these parasites in their mouth. The girl sneaks a parasite into her room. The girl is obsessed with masturbating, so she puts the parasite on her clitoris. It then devoured her clitoris in a bloody fashion. She then pulled her cervix through her vagina, forcing it to prolapse, and she stuck the parasite onto her cervix. Well, as you might imagine, the parasite forced its way through her cervix, and starts eating her womb from the inside out. This being a Japanese comic, she enjoys this thoroughly.
There's also a comic in the same series where she sticks her cervix through a hole in a fence. A dog comes by, sniffs it, and starts roughly chewing it. Long story short, the dog ends up tearing it out. I can't remember how this one ended. Really funny stuff.

Every time I think the world is an okay place, I suddenly remember Bobbit Worms.
Fun Fact: Bobbit Worms grow up to 3 meters long (10 feet).
Funner Fact: They can lash out and bite so hard and fast, that their prey (fish, crustaceans, coral, anything) are often sliced clean in half.
Oh So Fun: They burrow their entire body beneath the sand/mud, lashing out in the blink of an eye at anything that causes the water to wiggle one of its five antennae.
THE FUN KEEPS COMING: Bobbit Worms are covered in sharp bristles all along both sides of their body. If one of these hooks touches a living organism, that organism undergoes PERMANENT local paralysis.
HAPPY SWIMMING, FUCKERS!

I've been diving with moray eels at least three times. They're honestly pretty awesome and one of my favourite underwater animals. They're not particularly dangerous.

Hell, there's probably a giant lobster hiding from us. Lobsters don't die from natural causes. They're biologically immortal, more or less. An so long as they're alive, they grow.

Amazing to see how shit adapted in the deep sea, to the point where it looks like fiction come to life.
The sea is absolutely ripe for spoops yet there is so little film or games using it, let alone anything good.
>>18076732
they haven't "adapted", they were designed for their environment since the very beginning.
You know how the saying goes "nothing changes under the Sun"
>>18055770
This desu. Also we'd have to consider the evolutionary circumstances of these animals ever existing. A creature that big, which i'd assume would be a predator, would leave a pretty noticeable mark on the ecosystem.
Unless we ditch science and just imagine with the paranormal.
>>18053929
They could, they would just need to do it slowly and adjust to the atmospheric pressure.
>>18076761
For a time, the ocean was "ripe for spoops" but that was before the space age. The ocean has been a theme in creepy lore since probably the Greeks. It's one of the great unknowns.
But then science, and science fiction, looked to the sky and saw even more uncertainty and a much wider scope for storytelling. And we live in an age where spacefaring is a relevant frontier, naval exploration is not.
>>18076767
Fortunately, they're not under the sun at all down there in the deep black, are they?
>>18076784
Well this is the paranormal board...
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change

>>18055770
>in order for something to have that much mass, it would need dozens/hundreds of times more food to live
Not true at all. Mammals have extremely high metabolisms so we tend to overestimate how much food energy other types of animals will need.
Not only do most animals run colder than us, but the bigger something is the more efficiently it retains heat. Small warm-blooded animals like mice have to eat the equivalent of 50% of their mass per day just to maintain themselves, as their surface to volume ratio means they lose heat rapidly, where as a sperm whale only needs to consume about 3% of it's mass per day.
>>18075546
depends on how big you think he is supposed to be
when tried to wake up but failed because star alignment was wrong or some other bullshit it was described as "a mountain moved", so he might be larger than any known creature, that and him being an extra-dimensional alien priest with magical powers certainly means he gives no fucks about anything that has ever lived or will ever live on Earth

That's true, but there's a theoretical upper limit where a sufficiently large organism retains heat so well that it literally cooks itself with its own body heat.
Theoretical, granted, but we've yet to see any evidence against it.

but what scares me just as much are places like universal studios/islands of adventure (theme park). i know they are not real, and just mechanisms, but on the jaws ride, and the jurassic park river adventure, falling over and getting caught up in all that machinery with that big mechanical creature in murky water.
im sure someone else will know what im talking about, i know im a pussy, but i think that would actually give me a heart attack.

This. An animal with a very slow metabolism and the right heat-conserving adaptations could get pretty huge. Maybe it could live near the Antarctic, hibernating much of the year and then eating whales while they're there in the summer? A few types of whales migrate to the Antarctic every year to feed off the huge krill swarms, seems like a good opportunity for such a creature.
As for the metabolic rate thing, a good example in real life is the Greenland shark. They get quite large- the upper limit of their size is unknown, but likely at least 24 feet. They have a cruising speed of about 1-2 kph, and though capable of short bursts of high speed, mainly rely on ambush. They also get immensely old- they're the oldest vertebrates of all, likely reaching 400-500 years of age.
With a food source like the seasonal whale migration, and a sort of seasonal activity cycle- eat a shitload when there's whales around, coast off that energy most of the remainder of the year- it could be possible.

It's a combination of a lot of things. Try the fact that after that 'something' has noticed you, your inefficient design as an evolved ape means you're practically suspended in faux-mid air with much any way of fast propulsion. You're practically low hanging fruit for what ever finds you interesting. You're helpless. Couple this with the fact that the ocean visibility is Silent Hill levels of visual obscurity. There's a high chance something incredibly large would be making it's a approach but it might take you longer than needed for the brain to finally put the faint visual outline into context of scale.
Sometimes I have a nightmare where something is coming out of the seafog but it's never clear what it is, until it's too late and it's part of a gigantic mouth. Your peripherial vision fills in the gaps at the sides to jolt the brain into thinking "Oh fuck, that was the big mother fucking mouth of what ever the fuck is swimming towards me at great speed". Granted this doesn't have to be your tame and easily recognisable shark or fish, I'm talking an of the fucking up mutations that evolution has deemed necessary.

>the bobbit worm and other shit like this is honestly why I just don't understand the Ocean, why did whatever the fuck that worm is need to involve into such a monster?
Fish are super-full of the nutrients that a growing bear-trapped-faced monsterworm needs. The mutations that let them snag and hold on to those slippery fuckers allowed them to live longer and breed more. Eventually you get John Holmes-length bastards with spring-loaded harpoons for a face and contracting bodies that can pull them backwards against their gills (for the ones that can be drowned that way) or even into the very sand.

I picked up Subnautica and played for the first time in something like 8 months. I didn't know the game had had any updates at all.
So I was puttering around at the bottom of the grand reef, honestly just kind of enjoying the beautiful underwater sights. Dropped into a cave, following some glow rays.... and this unbelievable, loud, rapid fire clicking starts sounding.
My initial reaction was "That's odd, is that the hull of my little sub?"
I turned around, and one of - what is it, a crab squid? - was descending on me from the wall behind me. Three or four times the size of my little sub.
Few times have I shouted in fear at a game, but I screamed "What the fuck! What the fuck! What the fuck!" all the way back to the surface.
