What's Your Favorite Deep Sea Critter?

[Vash the Stampede]

I like Isopods, they're like giant pillbugs that act as custodians for the abyssal benthos.

I've also always thought Barreleyes were incredibly cool looking. With their crazy binocular eyes.

Those are from freshwater lakes though.

My bad, I looked up "cute sea creatures" on google images and it was the first thing that came up and I didn't check.

Okay my favorite sea creature is the deep sea batfish that was discovered in The Indian Ocean last year.
