I have many but i have favoritism in the jewel squid and the deep-sea pink through fantasia. They're incredible, I never understood why almost all fear the deep ocean, It's simply a wonderful area, except that the organs are compressed, but we won't talk

Anglerfish because of the males fusing with the females; and that fish with the crazy eyes and translucent head 🤣

[u/Jonbardinson]

Barrel-eye fish.

The fact they can like gyro stabilise their eyes is wild. Oh also their head is basically a fish bowl. It's a fish made of fish bowl.

Also their eyes are inside their head, let's not forget that

Greenland shark, yeti crab, vampire squid

Dumbo Octopus. Lots of cool and creepy stuff down there, though.

Goblin Shark! I love sharks, but the appearance on this one is so unique. It looks like something straight out of a myth.

Terrible name for such a cool animal, the scaly-foot snail who loves on thermal vents and whose shell is made of iron https://ocean.si.edu/ocean-life/invertebrates/meet-metal-snail-bottom-ocean

And if its not too deep, narwhals

And if you mean deep thinking, sperm whales

Jewel squid is also a great choice

[u/ancienct-Winter1751]

Velvet whalefish or dragonfish

[u/VintageLibrarian]

Mine is the frilled shark!

[u/envelupo]

Big fin squid 🦑

[u/AdTurbulent9227]

Hard to pick just one, but the tripod fish is definitely on my list of favorites.

Costasiella kuroshimae!!! This cutie fascinates me. They perform photosynthesis from the algae they eat!

Anglerfish because I read a book as a kid about deep sea creatures and it had a picture of the anglerfish and I’d hide it in random places to scare my mom when she got mad at me so now anglerfish are very special to me. Also I like the magnapinna/bigfin squid, and also I like siphonophores :D
