- 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.

Update on the shark guys: they are birdbeak dogfish! (according to the official JAMSTEC/Splatoon collab site)
the mystery is finally solved!
I like the fact Iso Padre looks all big and tough, while he put stickers on his back and has cute little plushies
Splatoon and ena fan? Approved.
@@echothefreak9396 omg a fellow Ena fan who likes splatoon as well!
@@Kitty.01 im an ena fan too
he’s weird and i love it
lmao and basically the opposite for the sea angels
I cannot be the only one who loves what the ping pong tree sponge is wearing. I love the dress so much!!
I agree, it's a great design! :)
MAKE THEM A OFFICIAL CHARACTER ❤❤❤
SLAY PING PONG QUEEN
That's literally the only reason i play splatoon, because everything is fishy
And the art is so good that the player has the idea that besides inktopolis there is more out there. Truly a masterpiece.
Agreed, the world of Splatoon is fascinating and so creative 🐟
i read the title as marine animals inspired by splatoon 2's octo expansion
"hey look they made the squid from Splatoon into a real thing"
OMG THEY MADE OCTOPUSES REAL
I wish squids were real
@@tuigi12 ikr
@@tuigi12 same,they look so cool
i love how the sea angels are just big hunky jocks
What's this? A video that's actually educational and still fun to watch? Amazing.
Ikr
3:37 so i'm more related to a pool of balls and a plastic tube than a crab.
GREAT.
If you look closely, that pool of balls has white bug eyes......
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
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!
Also, since blobfish live 2000-4000 feet below the sea level and their bodies can’t support themselves higher than that, the blobfish in that picture that everyone’s seen is probably dead. :(
Even in water?
My first time loading up the Octo Expansion, i got freaked tf out upon seeing the deep sea creatures on the train lol
They still give me the heebie jeebies ngl
I'm in love with the Octo Expansion DLC, you definitely deserve more subs! I love these kind of videos!
Splatoon lore is insane, especially the Octo Expansion. 😳
I didn't think that those things were real creatures I just thought they were there to make you uncomfortable
They definitely do that too haha
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.
YES! Love for the weird deepsea denizens! I'm so happy to see the predatory tunicates get some good attention!
Thank you so much for this!
I love how all octo expansion deep sea metro creatures are all
Well. Deep sea creatures
This is the most I learned, more than in school
I think because it’s the ocean
02:21 and everyone thought Pearl was ugly, boy were they wrong!
I do think the blob fish is pretty cool though, he kind of reminds me of Bubble Bass from SpongeBob
06:09 Sea Angels would actually be a great name for a new band
The gulper eel looks like something is would draw in math class.
This is actually good content. You should have way more subscribers!
They are called sea angles or Sea Ghosts because they were originally believed to be the souls of sailors long dead at sea
You need more subscribers for stuff like this lol
Thanks, I'm planning more videos like this soon :)
this is so interesting!!! i love splatoon but i don’t know too much about marine animals, thank you for making this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! I learned a lot myself in the making of it 😊
Wow, I can't wait to see what the jelly fish are based on!
I didn’t even know we had sea angels in this game, but as a fan of them, I am ecstatic
You need some more love for this video. Amazing research! 💚
The one person who disliked doesn’t know what Splatoon even is
And now I question why that person had Splatoon content in their recommend list
Splatoon is the reason I’m a fish nerd
Sea angels... Oh god... I caught so many of them in animal crossing...
Yep! In Animal Crossing they're called sea butterflies, but it's just another common name for the same critter.
Holy crap you're underrated
I love this video. I had a book on marine animals when I was little. This video reminded me of it.
RIP C.Q. Cumber 1:19
6:15 Sea angel himbo jocks. I love Splatoon
There needs to be a dumbo octoling with big ear like flaps but smaller than a normal octoling
3:50 Just like an underwater Venus Flytrap.
Missed opportunity to add the magnapinna squid or bigfin squid because, y'know, Splatoon, inklings, squid kids?
Yeah I may do a whole squid vid at some point, it's a good idea! :)
OMG THERE'S AN ISOPOD NPC?
I LOVE ISOPODS!!!
(Both the land and the sea ones)
Bet flashlight fish use their blinkers better than people do when driving
I hope starfish make it to Splatoon 3
They should do more world building in regards to the deep sea district.
Very informative video. Good job on that!
Nintendo puts so much detail to their games and so many little fun facts and Easter eggs, I really appreciate what Nintendo does, and how far it’s brought me in my education in sea life
Awesome video!
Omg this is soo goood!!! This needs more views!
Thanks so much!
I was able to identify a few of them, glad there was a video to show what the rest of them were.
very interesting!! I love splatoon and marine biology is just fascinating.
The Octo Expansion was amazing! I love it
This was a great video ✨
You're so underrated
This needs more likes- imagine all the time she used for this video
Aw, thanks for the comment!
C.Q. Cumber: DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF MERCY TO YOU!?
he is unforgiving and will splat you if you fail
I'm think the blobfish of the world are cute also funny for meme😆
I love you for this
I subbed this was a great video
Pilbugs are from the same family as giant isopods
They still have gills . Thats why they're found in humid places .
Underrated!
Woah so much information
Very helpful
3:26 I love that
i just want to think that the splatoon world has all lifefroms intelligent and not, say, you have sea jellyfish (primitive jellies) and you have the ones on land, everyone evovolved
I presumed that the businessmen were ratfish/chimeras which are also chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish)
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.
Marie from Splatoon is a firefly squid
Strong sea angels my beloved
This is good
Thanks!
This is like a 4th grade video we would watch about sea animals but with Splatoon🤩
3:32 wait thats really interesting when it comes to splatoon lore these things are the last live relative to vertebrates that isn't jud
It is super cool, however worth pointing out that since fish are vertebrates, they are even closer relatives. Tunicates are the closest inverts though! Thanks for watching 😊
@@KikiBethSays wait i wonder if reptiles still exist theyd be the clostest living relative. If not then it would be lung fish or the celecanth. Since we're more closely related to whats called "lobe fin" fishs than. Ray fin fish which is most fish. So
I wish there was types of inkings and octolings in the deep sea metro based on deep sea cephalopods but i guess it makes sense theres only two races
When a TH-cam video teaches more than your current or past classes
this video is so cool beans!
i luv the videoa and ur perosnality
5:25 They look like they're wearing gyaru fashion lol. Or the more accurate term would be Kogal since they look like school girls. Love it lmao
Siphonophores are so fucking cool
Agreed! Also, I just imagined Futaba saying that so thank you 😆
@@KikiBethSays omg I just did too that’s adorable 😂, thanks for that
Sea angles look buff
1:42 the isopod has clearly purple color animals can also have incorrect coloring like inspector clouseou a pink manta ray
Giant isopods are scary
Should I subscribe? Kinda interested
When you realize the octolings are octopuses:
🤯
@@KikiBethSays ikr
Nuuu- why would so do that to C.Q. ! (Yes I've been through the DLC. C.Q. seems to genuinely care for the player if a little blunt at times).
Darn, can't wait till they add the sea wasp
Im assuming every marine animal in the Splatoon universe is based on a land animal.
I love siphonophores so much im gonna cry
FUNFACT: Theres a siphonophore thats longer than the Statue of Liberty
Iso padre might have a double pun in his name. Iso, in finnish means big, while padre means father (not in finnish). So, you can somewhat make his name to mean grand father. Which is a movie he's obviously supposed to represent.
What are those long jellyfish blokes? Any idea?
**cough cough** siphonophores **cough cough**
Did you know that the jellyfish is inspired by the jellyfish?
4:26 HAH
marine biology my beloved :)
CQ cumber is a bounci boi
You must’ve really did your research for some of these
I think there was a unused enemy that was a
starfish lol
4:22 i don't think shes eating 8 shes kinda ok
Nocieeeee
i thought the siphonophores were sea grapes oops
I misread the title as splatoon that inspired deep sea animals
Had to take a double take
Can you become an author doing after you turn off your switch and then restart the game
?
There are multiple sea cumbers
kind of thought you said pee/pea sponge
i unlike most peeps, i likec.q
I like him too...until those 8-ball levels come around 😵
250 like
I don’t know why but I always thought C Q was a girl...
Dum you mean real life copied from splatoon
