Fisherman horrified after catching baffling ‘alien’ animal from the ocean depths

  • A deep-sea fisherman, Roman Fedortsov, caught a strange creature in the northern Pacific Ocean and identified it as an Aptocyclus ventricosus, or smooth lumpfish.
  • Social media users reacted with astonishment, dubbing the fish 'alien' and comparing it to various characters like 'Megamind' and 'The Dark Lord' from Harry Potter.
  • Fedortsov shared footage of the catch on TikTok, attracting 200,000 viewers who reacted with shock and fascination about the creature.
  • The species can grow up to 44 cm and is typically found in deep-sea environments, with its current swollen state attributed to pressure changes from being brought to the surface.
