The Creatures Rumoured To Lurk Where No Light Reaches

All right, let's go. Number 10. The Deepstaria Jellyfish. A Shapeless Predator That Swallows Worlds. In 1967, marine biologist Frederick Stratten was reviewing footage from the deep submersible Deepstar 4000 operating off the coast of San Diego when he identified something that defied classification. Drifting through the absolute darkness at 900 meters below the surface was a shapeless, translucent membrane roughly the size of a trash bag. It had no visible tentacles. No apparent structure. No recognizable anatomy. It moved through the water column like a living sheet of plastic, undulating with slow, deliberate contractions that suggested something far more purposeful than a piece of drifting debris. Stratten named it Deepstaria enigmatica. The species name tells you everything the scientific community thought about it. An enigma.
