Are deep sea critters actually scary and ugly or are we just not used to seeing them and it’s an unfamiliar experience for us so we feel scared and find them creepy?
Example: Telescope fish
We are unfamiliar but also half the photos of deep sea animals? They are dead 😭 so it’s not an accurate representation, also justice for the blob fish it’s not actually that “ugly”

They quite metaphorically live in a different world. I find them fascinating and odd but in a good way

i think both coz it’s obv contextual but also they freak me out like gulper eels and goblin sharks have freaky mouths yknow. but snakes also have big mouths and that’s not as freaky. interesting question

I think telescope fish are kinda cute and funny looking. Like an undersea slow loris with a lot of teeth. Looks kind of like albert einstein
