I love to think that despite how they look and move, they’re still fish and have the mind set of a fish, these are the most scientifically accurate mermaids I’ve ever seen
I love how they all look like they're at least trying to mimic the appearance of a human but can only vaguely resemble one since they wouldn't exactly know what a human looks like considering the different environments they live in. Nice work, man.
Yeah except this isn’t exactly a “lobelia plant mimicking a hummingbird” kind of thing where one would know what the other looks like, this is more of a “how tf does a thing that lives at the bottom of the ocean know what we look like” kind of thing
That last mermaid sent a chill up my spine. Everything else here looks fairly innocuous, but that one was not only huge but also a lot harder to identify in terms of what species it's based on. Edit: Yes, I'm fully aware of what a ningen is.
If there's one thing that stands out to me, it's the fact that they don't really look like monsters. Rather, they look like actual deep-sea creatures that happen to have a humanoid-type of structure. A bit unsettling, of course, but they look plausible in design rather than made just to scare someone.
I love this depiction of mermaids more than anything because it’s kind of biologically accurate but also deeply disturbing, it’s beautiful in my opinion.
I actually personally love this approach of how mermaids would look like because in older stories mermaids would lure in fishermen with their beauty and singing and once they got close enough they would show their true face and eat them whole.Also fish look really weird and the more deeper you dive into the ocean the more weird looking creatures you find so dont be expecting a Ariel look alike lmao.
They were called sirens too lol. Their voices lured men and their silhouettes appeared to be a woman's but... Have you ever seen Animal Planet's Mermaid Mockumentary? They look super creepy look it up lol
Also if Ariel was real she’d be translucent (I do not care that she’s black in the new movie and idk why that’s controversial it’s a girls movie anyways)
The fact that this also raises the possibility that some of these strange creatures might actually *hunt* for actual mermaids, hence why they mimic them
A scientific image was created that I saw on a show once about what certain mythical creatures would actually look like, if they actually existed. They put together everything that a creature like a mermaid would need, in order to survive in the ocean. Basically it turned out that a mermaid would need everything a walrus had, skin, body fat and all.. That helps it to survive in those kinds of waters. So there you go, the Walrus species.. The actual mermaids of the oceans..
Daniel Zhao Yup. They actually started off with the image of a woman with a fish tale, and as they added all the necessities to her body, she ended up slowly morphing into a manatee. As they say, the mermaids that a lot of people have come to know them as because of stories and tales told throughout time, are nothing more than fantasies that lonely men at sea conjured up, while away from land and women for so long..
i love how most of them look like they're mimicking humans, and they're so beautifully done! 0:02 is mimicking a typical mermaid, with the red hair, but its eyes and mouth are on the stomach and chest. might even be some sort of hammerhead shark?? 0:16 looks like it has a face on top of it, but you can clearly see the mouth right underneath 0:23, similarly to the first one, is also mimicking a more typical mermaid. the undulating ""hair"" is supposed to look like human hair with a face barely poking through 0:41 almost looks like a shark on its back. it might almost be trying to mimic a face too, but it definitely has human ribs down 0:59 is again mimicking a more typical mermaid. its false face looks like hair floating on the surface of water, and if you look close enough you can see a nose and a mouth
The 2nd one looks like a fish without its hands. The 4th one looks like a bottom feeding fish. And the 1st one looks like a hammer head shark. I don't know what the rest are
As a monster lover, and admirer of deep sea creatures, I ADORE your designs here! They look like actually creatures that could've been mistaken for merfolk. Certainly more than frickin' manatees...

Honestly the fact that they aren't contantly attacking the camera kinda makes it more scary. It leaves you wonder what they would actually do to you if you weren't doing this from the saftey of your boat or where ever you are and had to meet them in person.
"scary mermaids" isn't a new concept but I like how these lads are very much just animals that aren't so much scary so much as they don't follow what we consider normal.
This is probably the most accurate depiction of mermaids. If they existed, they would probably look like this. Doesn't make it any less terrifying though.
So oddly beautiful. The more humanoid mermaids seem scary (uncanny valley) yet these ones seem kind of cute? 0:38 is my favourite, I love the way it walks 🥺
Kumiko Loh You know the Game GTFO? These look like they’d be underwater bosses or something. Actually, an underwater horror co op shooter sounds like a really cool game concept
Outstanding. The last piece of footage should have the lore that the mermaid depicted hangs around ship wrecks due to their small evolutionary human like traits of having a liking and understanding of technology. They evolve mentally by learning things from ship wrecks. In old sailor lore, this bizarre creature's behavior would be mistaken as an ocean spirit guarding ship wrecks and ushering sailors' souls to the afterlife (or claiming them.)

HOLY- YOOOOOOOO. THIS IS SO COOL!!!! Like, I am a huge fan of deep water ROV footage, and love deep ocean, so I'm very familiar with the cinematography and vibe of them, and this hit that to a T. The utter silence, the camera trying to focus, the subtle movements of the 'mermaids' being spooked, the off-centeredness of it all. And the CONCEPT??? Mermaids as human MIMICRY??? Not only is the mimicry itself horrifying as a baseline, but knowing that this kind of mimicry is for hunting. I now will never look at mermaids the same. Horrifying. Uncanny. Beautiful.

Puroxrin whats that?
fear of open giant spaces,if it wasnt for gravity i would be scared shitless ,imagine floating into the sky
RE-L Mayer I thinks it’s the fear of oceans mostly lol but yea I don’t really like open spaces or the ocean-
These videos hit different at night, especially when there’s no jumpscares, it’s so unnerving
I think that's a realistic animation. Good job David. *Realistic sea voice is very nice!
Technically they are mermaids. Because the definition of a mermaid is a humanoid fish.
1:07 hole shit thats terrifying.
*The last one looks colossal compared to the size of the sunken ship. Although these are just some cool human imaginations*

I like how the: "nobody:" in some meme comments serve no purpose or even need to be included in the meme other than tradition? maybe? but it's sort of like how some animals have useless body parts left over from evolution like an orcas leg bone remnants or a human's wisdom teeth.
@@PhantomLeaf The first sentence wasn't a question yet you put a question mark, seems pretty useless doesn't it? Maybe? But sort of like how some animals have useless body parts left over from evolution like an orca's leg bone remnant or a human's wisdom. teeth.

I love how none of them have working eyes because they all seem to be deep sea creatures with no light for the eyes to gain data from
0:03 that is actualy terrifying

I really want more of this kind of content. No jumpscares (sorta), no one getting eaten or killed, no complex story or plot, just horrors of the ocean with a horrifying atmosphere
HOLY- YOOOOOOOO. THIS IS SO COOL!!!! Like, I am a huge fan of deep water ROV footage, and love deep ocean, so I'm very familiar with the cinematography and vibe of them, and this hit that to a T. The utter silence, the camera trying to focus, the subtle movements of the 'mermaids' being spooked, the off-centeredness of it all. And the CONCEPT??? Mermaids as human MIMICRY??? Not only is the mimicry itself horrifying as a baseline, but knowing that this kind of mimicry is for hunting. I now will never look at mermaids the same. Horrifying. Uncanny. Beautiful.
