Monsters Among Us: Giant Mystery Creature with "Elbows" Captured on Deep Sea Camera
Called Magnapinna, these relatives of the squid have only been
spotted a handful of times by vehicles like the one that recorded it
here. Four of their bodies have been recovered by researchers, but were
so badly damaged that it was hard for scientists to figure out their
anatomy. What we do know is that they can grow to about 23 feet in
length, about half the size of the biggest giant squid, and they have
10 long legs (instead of the normal squid setup of 8 short legs and 2
big tentacles).
