Abyssaslontus abyssa
As G. gigas began to wander to the depths of zone 24, they adapted to deal with the extreme cold and monstrous pressure. They developed extremely thick skin, and due to the lack of light their eyes became massive to absorb the little light there is, mostly emitted by the bioluminescent algae. They mass predate M. casperpygmeus, sometimes consuming entire groups in a single gulp. They are apex predators reaching 4.5 feet in length, with the young being born at a size of 15-18 inches. The eggs are also given further protection, being laid within the algae near the geothermic vents to help the young develop. To help with the enormous pressure, the eggs have grown a very thick protein shell, and one the young are ready the shells pop”splitting down the center and allowing the newborn to swim out. The females usually only lay 2 or 3 eggs per batch.
