Suuuure... When VITAS has scourged mankind, we will look back upon this day and lament: "Why, oh why, didn't we kill the cuddly fuzzy harbinger of pestilence when we had the chance?"
Imagine it cuddle up and go "ee ee ee". (Rather like "SKREEEE!" and jump for your face...) |

Voorhees, do you have any idea what the hell that thing is? Because I sure don't. Looks kinda like a cross between a giant cockroach and a giant flea. Nasty, whatever the hell it is.

It looks like a giant scud, flatter and wider in shape than usual, and the legs do not seem adapted to swimming. The leg setup, the head, the tail and the plating look exactly like those on smaller anthropods of genus Gammarus. You can see pictures of small scud here and here, and an artists rendition which also highlights the similarities here.

Considering its coloration, chances are it's a creature native to the deepest parts of the ocean. We're going to be discovering a lot of "new" and incredibly weird creatures in the coming years as our ability to dive improves.

Use altavista babelfish to translate it from portugese. It's a dialect, I think, so parts of it don't translate well, but evidently they found it near a sewer.

That so called 'monster' is a deep ocean critter. It scavanges the sea floor eating carrion. It's related to the common 'Pill Bug' AKA 'Potatoe Bug' Go turn a rock over in the summer and you'll see a tiny version of it. That sucker is the giant ocean version. Same harmless little blighter though. I just saw it on the Trid last night, there are alot of them in the gulf of mexico deep down
