In 2008, scientists began a series of expeditions around the Southern Ocean searching for individuals of a mysterious species called Promachocrinus, also known as the Antarctic feathered star.
A team working on a research vessel near Antarctica then made an unexpected discovery: a new 20-armed underwater creature resembling strawberries has been discovered, reports The Guardian. UNILAD – which is very similar to the monster shown in one of the cult films
Promachocranes are very similar to some of their invertebrate counterparts, such as starfish or sea cucumbers, except they are much larger, when they swim, they move and look out of this world, and they can survive at depths of nearly 2,000 metres. sea level. They can stay.

During the expeditions, scientists found eight completely unique stars, four of which were not yet completely known to science. Scientists named one of those, the person in question, Promachocrinus fragarius, otherwise known as the strawberry feather star of the Antarctic.
Although the animal’s name was very cute and friendly — Strawberry doesn’t mention a creature fit for a horror movie — when looking at its appearance, it could be argued that the team members weren’t exactly the most creative, with the creature looking more terrifying than kind.
Some commentators see the face-attacking monster from the Alien movies in the twenty-armed creature frozen in the Antarctic ice, whose color, according to scientists, can range from purple to dark red.
Besides, not a few creatures live in the depths of the seas and oceans.
There are inhabitants of tropical and temperate oceans and seas, the vampire squid, which lives in an oxygen-poor environment at a depth of 600-900 meters. Despite its disgusting name, the animal itself is harmless, about 30 cm long, and does not hunt live animals. It feeds on the remains of plankton, crabs and other small animals. When threatened, it releases a luminous slime as a defense, temporarily paralyzing the attacker until they flee.
The name of the black dragon fish, also known as the snake fish, can make us cringe. It is a native creature of the Atlantic Ocean, found in the Mediterranean and subtropical waters of the Southern Hemisphere, and swims to depths of up to 2,000 metres. The difference between a male and a female is amazing. The female is inky black and can reach 40 cm in length, with long fang-like teeth, while the dark brown male is only 5 cm long and has no teeth. The black dragonfish lures its victims to itself through its ability to biologically produce light.
