El Gran Maja - Submarine Expedition
El Gran Majá (The Great Maja) is a hypothetical marine creature (likely inspired by Bloop) that was created by Borisao Blois. El Gran Majá has extremely long, sharp teeth, and its mouth is tucked back a little bit. It is observed to have 6 white, small eyes, and a huge mouth. This monstrous sea creature is 675 m (2214 ft) long, almost doubling the length of the Bloop.

I actually wish this was in Subnautica. Perhaps have it be the largest leviathan, but it isn’t super mobile. Maybe it mostly rests idle on the sea floor.

[@thezek6322]

@@TheTempest73my question had nothing to do with “is an ant edible?” My question relates to how in nature, you have to eat food that will supplement you as needed. Humans don’t eat ants because they’re not going to give us any of the nutrients or calories we need. A creature as big as Gran Maja wouldn’t see a submarine as food, with those teeth it’s clearly a carnivore and it can identify things as food or not food with those eyes

"Active Sonar, maximum power, override safety procedures, now!" Active sonar is artificially capped at about 200 decibels. At 212 decibels water flashes into steam, and human bone shatters into powder. We can easily produce sonar at 300+ decibels with modern technology. We don't bother, because there's no point. Being eaten by large unknown organisms is just about the best reason to do so. Just give them a few minutes, and plenty of power and a modern nuclear submarine could probably melt their way through.

[@thewalrus511]

Also a single nuclear torpedo could kill this thing easily. People really underestimate how powerful the military is now. We could track this thing across the whole ocean and then kill it from miles away with little difficulty.

[@TACOCAT_67]
