Russian deep-sea fisherman shares photo of nightmare creature he netted

Updated

Russian deep-sea fisherman Roman Fedortsov decided earlier this year that he could no longer keep the mysteries of the ocean a secret.

Earlier this year, Fedortsov, who works on a fishing trawler in Murmansk, a port city in the far northwest region of Russia, began posting photographs of his bizarre catches on Twitter to scare us out of swimming forever for the whole world to enjoy.

In his travels, Fedortsov has encountered this teeth thing.

And this godforsaken sphere.

He's even stumbled across this terrifying underwater spider.

While The Moscow Times seems to believe most deep-sea fishers would simply shrug at these pictures, "given the variety of creatures regularly pulled up in nets," as non-deep-sea fishermen, we can attest that they are indeed, horrifying.
