Do you ever feel… like a plastic bag drifting through the sea? You might relate to the glass octopus (Vitreledonella richardi). This cephalopod can be found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. Named for its transparent skin, it inhabits depths of around 3,000 ft (914 m) where sunlight doesn’t penetrate. Scientists think its see-through appearance is a form of camouflage that protects it from predators and conceals it from prey!

Krxken!tale Nightmare
There he is
This might be the best thing I’ve ever drawn lmao-
Tentacles inspired by this and this (Solaris’ design! @bunningchaos 🫵 you did this) and the species glass octopi (Vitreledonella richardi, I believe)
Nightmare by Joku
Rambling!
- He doesn’t have a specific name like Altitude (Swap) does- maybe Abyss? He would only go by that in other multiverses, though, he’s mainly just Nightmare
- He is very tall, almost 7 feet!
- He can summon up to eight tentacles, but any number over four is harder to control
- He has four layers of very sharp shark teeth, the front row like normal teeth and the back three pointing backwards
- While normally (relatively) safe to touch, strong emotions can turn his tentacles painfully cold
- He likes cold saltwater but dislikes warm freshwater, with the exception of thunderstorms.
- OH YEAH big difference between this and canon Dreamtale- instead of killing all the villagers once corrupted, he killed enough to scare them (a lot) and turned the village into his kingdom. He has ruled over their descendants for the past 500 years, living in a grand castle with servants and all that. He’s a good king as far as defending the kingdom from outside threats, but has the tendency to somewhat purposefully inflict famine or snowstorms on the kingdom and generally exploit them.
- His tentacles are very shimmery
- There’s more than that, of course, but you’ll just have to read the comic :3

The 5 Lakes of the Underworld fakemons
**Be warned, this is a very long post**
After the main story is finished and you have become the regional Kroel champion you will have access to new missions and sidequests, most coming from Neo-Kroel main research center. One of this special missions requires you to investigate the underground lakes of Kroel, 5 lakes deep under the earth that have conditions were life shouldnt exist, yet each one has a unique species of pokemon living in them.
The 5 lakes are at the bottom level of different caves you would have came across during your travel, but before becoming a champion you should not be able to enter their lowest level. everytime you try going in there a warning saying "its too dangerous to go down" stopping you. Once you accept the mission, the researchers will give you a special suit that allows you to go down, as well as one for your pokemon, similar to the suit your receive in Omega Ruby/Alpha Saphire when fighting the legendaries.
This 5 lakes are based on the 5 lakes of the underworld in greek mythology
The first lake is one where the water has turn to acid, due to a high concentration of iron altering the waters pH, the acid releases toxic fumes that fill up the caves air and some of it has leaked into the floor above. This cave represents the Rive Styx from the greek underworld. The pokemon inhabiting this lake is based on a Hagfish (Myxini glutinosa) and it's a Water/Poison type, its body is covered in a very toxic mucus that protect it from the harmful acid, but can be very harmful for other pokemons.
Tumblr media
The second lake is one where the presence of a very rare form ol fungi has given the water psychotropic properties, the air in this cave alone can cause very strong hallucinations and the water can do sever damage to the brain, causing even memory loss. This lake represents the River Lethe from the greek underworld.  The pokemon inhabitting this lake is based on the Glass Octopus (Vitreledonella richardi) and it's a Water/Psychic type. This pokemon has managed to survive thanks to the large size of its brain, who not only is not damaged by the water but has used it to increase its extrasenssorial abilities.
Tumblr media
The third lake is one where the water has become Anoxic, this means water has lost its oxygen, and fish shouldnt be able to breathe in it. The whole enviroment of the cave has a very thin air, which makes harder to breath even outside water. This lake representes the river Acheron from the Greek underworld. The pokemon inhabiting this lake is based on the Spookfish, also known as long nosed chimera (Rhinochimaera pacifica), and it's Water/Ghost type. This pokemon is actually the ghost of the original pokemon who occupied the lake before the water turned anoxic, unable to adapt quickly enough they all died, and their souls possesed their old skins
Tumblr media
The fouth lake is one where water has become Supercooled, which means it has reached temperatures below the freezing point without actually freezing. The cave in general is too cold, with ice in every surface. This lake represents the river Cocytus from the greek underworld. The pokemon inhabiting this lake is based on the Terrible Claw Lobster (Dinochelus ausubeli), and it's a Water/Ice type. It uses its chainsaw like pincer to cut through the ice, with its body covered in a hard, protective armor. Despite its looks it feeds on a special type of moss that grows beneath the ice.
Tumblr media
And the fifth lake is one where the water has become Superheated, which means water that has reached temperatures above the boiling point without actually boiling. The heat in this cave is extreme, with all surfaces reaching temperatures above 100° C. This lake represents the river Phlegeton from the greek underworld. The pokemon inhabiting this lake is based in the Black Dragonfish (Idiacanthus atlanticus), and it's a Dragon/Fire type, the only one of this pokemon that is not a water type. Its hard scales protect him from the scalding water, and it can create flames that can burn even underwater.

I still need to think in their abilities and names and all that, but hope this works as an interesting read

The ultra rare glass octopus, she’s a translucent luminescent queen 👑
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The glass octopus Vitreledonella richardi is a very rarely seen cephalopod found in tropical and subtropical waters. These octopuses mostly live in the aphotic zone, deep sea waters where sunlight doesn’t penetrate, at around 3,000 feet.
They can grow to about 1.5 feet long and are estimated to live about 2-5 years. Named for their see through bodies, that allow you to view their digestive tract/make chromatophores stand out.

The glass octopus, also known as Vitreledonella richardi, is a transparent, gelatinous, and almost colorless octopod found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas. Eyes are nearly rectangular in shape as seen from the side. The radula is heterodont, also known as heteroglossan, in which the middle or rhachidian tooth is each array has multiple cusps and the lateral teeth are unicuspid. The female broods her eggs, of which there are hundreds, within the mantle cavity.

A friend: https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/gam55f/hail_fucktopus/
Me: That’s a septopus.
Friend: I imagine its 8th leg is positioned behind the head
Me: There is no sign of that. There is only one sign on that septopus.
Friend: Fucktopus.

Given its transparent body, the glass octopus (Vitreledonella richardi) remains one of the most elusive creatures of the deep sea. Rare photographs such as this reveal an array of opaque organs and a glimpse of its unusually shaped eyes. Scientists think the upward tilt and elongation of its rectangular eyes are adaptations to help the glass octopus avoid predation.

“Vitreledonella Richardi” (Glass Octopus),
Recently scientists from the Schmidt Ocean Institute sighted one on a 34-day journey to the Phoenix Islands Archipelago. 
They captured this amazingly detailed footage, showing just how intricate and magical this octopus is. This is the first time they've seen one in real life.
This rare species with the only visible features being its optic nerve, eyeballs and digestive tract. It really is one of those examples of animal evolution that defies description.
Yet another reason why we need to protect our oceans, and the amazing animals that call it home.

Glass Octopus
Vitreledonella richardi
The Glass Octopus spend its entire life in the midwater section of the ocean and found at depths between 200m to 2000m. Even though it has no protection from predators, it achieves perfect transparency. The only part of the Glass Octopus that is visible is its digestive gland. However, the digestive gland is placed vertically to minimize detection. In addition, I find this octopus to be super cute!
