Now, we did a part one to this list, and you loved it so much that we thought we would
bring you a part 2.
However, I’m switching things up a little this time, and instead of focusing on real
creatures I’ll be looking at fictional monsters that haunt the seas.
Mythical creatures that lay dormant in uncharted waters, waiting patiently to be discovered.
So, today on Top 5 Scary Videos, we’re going to be counting down our list of the Top 5
Scariest Deep Sea Creatures - Part 2.
But, before we begin, be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be
responding to some of your comments.
Lets jump in.
5 Cirein Croin Cirein Croin was a large sea monster hailing
from Scottish Gaelic folklore, which, according to an old saying, was so large it fed on seven
whales.
With an old Gaelic saying stating, I quote, “Seven herrings, a salmon’s fill; Seven
salmon, a seal’s fill; Seven seals, a whale’s fill; Seven whales, a Cirein-croin’s fill.”
Oh man.
Now, while its immense size poses a threat to human king, it prefers to toy with its
prey first.
It hides its enormous figure by shrinking down to the size of a silverfish.
Then, when fisherman catch it in their nets, the monsters transforms back into a gigantic
beast and swallows the fishermen whole.
4 Ningen The Ningen is an arctic Humanoid Life-Form
that inhabits the icy waters of the Antarctic, and has reportedly been observed on a handful
of occasions by crew members of whaling ships.
The Ningen are said to be completely white in colour with a length of around 20 to 30
meters.
Crew members who have spotted the life form have described it as having a human-like shape,
often with legs, arms, and even five-fingered hands.
So creepy.
Now, the only visible facial features are the eyes and mouth -- and on one occasion
crew members approached the creature, believing it to be a foreign submarine, however, it
became apparent very quickly that it was non man-made, and that it was alive.
The creature disappeared relatively quickly.
Now, most of the sightings seem to occur at night, which makes the creature far more difficult
to photograph -- however, in pictures that have been taken the Ningen mostly just looks
like ice, though their skin is said to be smooth, almost human-like.
No believable pictures have ever been taken, perhaps because they don’t exist, or perhaps
it’s because of a larger coverup by the government.
What do you guys think?
3 Kraken The Kraken is a legendary sea-monster of massive
proportions, and is described as resembling a giant octopus or squid, and is said to be
capable of enveloping entire ships in the grasp of its tentacles and dragging them beneath
the depths of the cold, dark ocean.
Now, the Kraken for years has been spoken of in tales told by sailors’ as well as
featured in various works of fiction since the 13th century and continues to remain popular
even today.
The Kraken is said to roam off the coasts of Norway and Greenland and will attack and
destroy any vessel that crosses its path.
Now, since the later 18th century, the Kraken has been depicted in a variety of different
ways, however, it’s primarily drawn as a large octopus-like creature and has often
been based on sailors’ observations of a giant squid.
Scarier still, the Kraken is also depicted to have spikes on its sucker -- yeah, that
sh**t will f**k you up.
In earlier depictions the Kraken was more crab-like and far less intimidating than it
is today -- but the biggest takeaway?
Steer clear of the ocean very many reasons, but mostly steer clear of the Kraken.
2 Hydra Also known as Mother Hydra, this Lovecraftian
monster is said to resemble a colossal Deep One, and is an enormous humanoid creature
with a fish-like face, flapping gills and piscean skin.
She forms the holy trinity with Father Dagon, and Great Cthulhu himself -- the three entities
are worshiped as gods by the aquatic race.
Now, there is much debate as to whether Hydra is a Great Old One, or if she is simply a
massively overgrown Deep One.
Now, it should be noted that Hydra and Dagon were both entrusted by Cthulhu to be guardians
of his daughter Cthylla -- a duty which they perform in one of the Deep Ones’ mighty
submarine cities beneath the North Atlantic.
1 Leviathan Leviathan, not to be confused with the roller
coaster at Canada’s Wonderland, is a sea serpent monster of immense size and first
appeared in Jewish belief, referenced in the Hebrew Bible in the Book of Job, the Book
of Isaiah, and the Book of Amos.
It is described as a primeval monster defeated by the god Hadad, and draws comparisons to
dragon and world serpent narratives.
Now, the Leviathan of the Middle Ages is a little different, and was used as an image
of Satan, endangering both God’s creatures and God’s creation by threatening it with
the waters of chaos.
Leviathan is classified as one of the Seven Princes of Hell and is the demon of envy.
More interesting still, Leviathan represents the element of water -- the element of water
in Satanism is associated with life and creation -- something that Leviathan seeks to destroy.
Well, there we have it!

Before I go though, I just want to respond to a few comments from one of our last videos,
Top 5 Obscure Movie Monsters - Part 2.
Nelson Chris said, “All these monsters run at the sight of Lucy.
Because they know her true form.”
-- You will never say it nor know of it.
Only true followers will be granted that privilege.
Crystal Secrest yelled, “MY FAVOURITE PART OF EVERY VIDEO IS WHEN YOU RESPOND TO COMMENTS.
THE WITTY SARCASM IS ALWAYS ENTERTAINING.”
-- Well shucks, perhaps I’ll respond to yours one day.
MayaPaya said “Hey Lucy, what sign are you?”
-- Capricorn, the superior sign.
ScissorMeTimbers said “Ermahgerd I’m such a Lucy fanboy, I’m not even embarrassed.”
Never be embarrassed, you are smarter than the majority.
