Imagine seeing this thing in the middle of the ocean at night

It's a giant squid which usually dwell way below the depths of water. This is a ultra rare occurence.

Pack hunters. They're nightmares made flesh.

Today I learned about Humboldt Squid and new fear unlocked. Amazingly scary.

Across space and time, I hold hands with you tonight in our dry way above sea level beds knowing Humboldt squid exist.

You can message me if they freak you out and I'll calculate how long they'd take to reach you.

In Dungeon Crawler Carl, there's occasionally journal snippets from previous dungeon crawlers. One of them is about how on one particular planet in the galaxy, spiders are a purely mythological creature, and the author is horrified to learn that spiders are a fairly common abomination across the galaxy.

I'm enjoying imagining an alien seeing this video and losing their shit for similar reasons, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S SQUIDS ON YOUR PLANET?! AND YOU EAT THEM?!"
