Top 10 Deep Sea Creatures
Meet the Gulper Eel ( also known as the pelican eel or umbrella mouth eel ) perhaps the weirdest but also most fascinating creature in the deep sea. The fish has a gigantic mouth that is used for gulping down creatures ( some even as big as itself ). The Gulper Eel attracts its prey to it with a red bioluminescent glow on its tail making them think it is food. The Gulper eel hangs its light around its mouth and its prey move towards it ready for a tasty meal but also do they know that they are the meal and the Gulpers mouth is waiting hidden in the darkness of the deep sea and as they are around to eat the glow GULP. Gulpers has very small eyes for they use other senses in the darkness of the deep sea, I first learnt about them from octonauts when I was very young and also leather about a lot of other sea creatures from that program. They are also one of my favourite computer games Deeeep.io and appear in blue planet episode 2

That name is badass.

One of the largest and coolest mollusks of all.
Megamouth sharks are a species of deepwater shark. The first one of this species was discovered in 1976 when a U.S. naval ship discovered something very strange caught on its sea anchor. Scientists dubbed it megamouth for obvious reasons. Since then, the megamouth shark has proved to be extremely elusive. Only 63 specimens (as of May 2017) have so far been found, but every one that can be examined... read more
Why's it so low, deserves to be in top 10!
A bioluminescent cephalopod found in the western Pacific Ocean, the Firefly Squid uses its light-producing abilities for camouflage and communication. It is most commonly observed during its spawning season, when it gathers in large numbers.
An abyssal fish species, the Fangtooth is native to the deep ocean and is characterized by its elongated, fang-like teeth and a compressed body. It has a bioluminescent quality, allowing it to navigate the extreme depths where light is scarce. Fortunately those only live in the deepest layers of the oceans, they looks menacing and terrifying
