The Cutest and Cuddliest Deep Sea Creature//

The Grimpoteuthis (or “Dumbo Octopus”) / depth 300-5000m

The Most Treacherous and Terrible Deep Sea Creature//

Stomias Boa (or “Scaly Dragonfish”) / depth 200 - 1500m (which means, potentially, that it could eat and kill our friend the dumbo octopus, which means I hate it, I hate it FOREVER)
