Why do most deep sea creatures look like they’re hell-spawns?
In: Biology
I believe its the otherway around. Artist (and now societal) depictions of demons and scary things has been heavily influenced by creatures. Just imagine being in ancient times and seeing a dead sea creature that has washed to shore- its the stuff of nightmares.
Sidenote- depictions of hellish creatures having goat-like features may come from christian painters giving demons the characteristics of the greek god Pan.
