  • Splatoon and Splatoon 2 feature countless creative characters based on creatures that exist in the real world, but few are as bizarre as the Denizens of the Deep in Octo Expansion. As a former marine science researcher and educator, I am excited to share some fun facts about these amazing deep sea animals!

    If you’re interested in seeing more cool deep sea creatures, I recommend checking out NOAA Okeanos Explorer and E/V Nautilus, both of which livestream and archive super cool deep sea expeditions.

    HEY! Just a note! I think the wiki got it wrong. I bet the fish at 5:30 is a Rhinochimaera. (Long-nosed chimera)
    It explains the weird coloured eyes, the multiple gill slits, the colour, and the weird long nose thing

    • @KikiBethSays
      @KikiBethSays  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yes I think you're probably right, thank you! Another commenter pointed this out as well. I definitely wasn't satisfied with the wiki on that one. The only thing that doesn't match up is the gill slits which don't show externally on chimaeras as far as I'm aware, but everything else fits well. Thanks again!

    Fun Fact: I want to say the Splatoon 2 team actually partnered up with a Japanese submersible team - I forgot the specific name or one - to help with the studying and accuracy of the various species and even the environment of the Deep Sea Metro. There are even sceneries that are based off of hydrothermal vents - spoiler, they're basically factory smokestacks in the Splatoon universe.

    • @KikiBethSays
      @KikiBethSays  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for your input! Yeah this one's still very much an open discussion and you might be right - I think chimaeras are a good guess because 1) they're known for long or plow-shaped snouts, 2) they've got the big creepy eyes, and 3) they fit the the theme of "mysterious deep sea animal" a little better than the dogfish. However, the characters do have those shark-like gills so it's a bit unclear.
