giant siphonophores!!!

giant siphonophores are deep sea invertebrates that live in many deeper oceans all over the world, from iceland to chile!

they eat small crustaceans and small fish

siphonophores can grow up to 130 feet long!

they’re not single multi-cellular organisms, they’re actually colonies of tiny biological components called zooids!

giant siphonophores have hydrostatic skeletons

they attract pray with bright bioluminescent light!

there are over 175 species of siphonophores and they have very diverse differences

siphonophores are bioluminescent and can glow many different colours, mainly blue, red, orange, and yellow!

they’re so amazing :]

Giant siphonophore!Error

I'm not done YET, but I NEEDED to share him with y'all

He is based on this thing

Goofy ahh giant siphonophore (below is a copy and paste from my submission description for Calamity Mod’s art contest event regarding the Sea Kingdom)

Praia (Giant Siphonophore Praya Dubia), most popular transit system of the Sea Kingdom

The name Praia actually refers to the whole colony of polyps (any pros because yeah). Common word tell of the siphonophore being found too close above its' water depth, at the risk of death from bursting. Sea kingdom officials agreed to find a way to save the colony, so they brought jewelry to weigh it down and bind its hydrostatic skeleton, focusing on lining it with opal for the power of the water.

A decision was made to have Praia be a form of transit system for the kingdom, turning the jewelry to protect itself from bursting as well as prevent passengers from being stung at all. Every so often, Praia receives a needed maintenance from the authorities to repair the armor jewelry and account for new parts of the colony.

Individual polyps were given the names of various surface nations' alphabet and terms, such as Aleph "Ox" for the "head", and so on. Some polyps had hooks and stingers, the former to assist cargo and the latter for defense. The polyps could communicate with farers, offering an interactive and comfortable experience that supported the growing popularity in addition with the bioluminescence.

Death: during the assault on the Sea Kingdom, many inhabitants took Praia to escape. However, the dangers and chaos caused Praia to rise up too much and damaging the armor, causing the siphonophore to burst and leaving the passengers vulnerable.

Funny: EVERYONE KNOWS (mostly) where the inspiration came from. There's too little giant siphonophore OC material out there to have a reference other than Octonauts. I slept on this design the whole contest and only had a day to plug in my drawing tablet and get working. And I've gotten some specifics irl biology wrong in the design but yeah. Enjoy.
