Discussed or undiscussed....
EDIT: Can they roar, or make noises?

[OliMango]

Aren't they like...really small? How would they roar?

Plus, I'm pretty sure anything that's big and mutated will roar, no matter what it is.

Thanx, nice to get some positive feedback.

Like I said most of the "evidence" points to the extremophiles as the secret ingredient not the actual monster, but it is a possiblity. In the end it probably won't look too much like the real thing but there are like 10,000 kinds of Tardigrades alone to roughly base it on.

Remember I'm not just pulling this out of my imagination, Yosida Medical research said it all:

"YMR is a genetic research firm specializing in deep sea bioprospecting. YMR implements Tagruato's advanced exploration technology to study extremophiles found only in the deepest parts of our oceans. The understanding of such organisms that thrive in conditions of extreme pressure, temperature, and toxicity has boundless pharmaceutical and industrial promise. "

After finally bothering to reading your original post, I'd say it sounds spot on. Now I can understand what's so important about the satellite news!
It might not be tardigrades, it could even be something completely fictional, but it's some sort of microscopic lifeform that remains dormant under certain conditions.
How it is involved with the monster's creation is another matter.

Here is a thought - it's way out there and a scary one.

What technology, exactly, is Bold Futura using to extract the oil from the ocean depths? What if it's not a machine? And what does it run on, to live and work and thrive in those ungodly cold, deep and dark places?

What if it's a mutated extremophile?

What if ALL of the drilling stations are using mutated extremophiles?

So I was thinking about the Water Bears and remember reading a while back about the fact that they can be frozen or completely dried out and as soon as they are brought back to survivable temperatures and/or rehydrated they come back to life. So assuming the monster is one of these Extremophiles (which I am ONLY doing for the sake of this particular train of thought) I think I have a theory...

If you were an evil japanese corporation experimenting with tardigrades and something went out of control what would you do with said failed trouble experiment. Nothing can really harm these things and the only place they could at least be reigned in would be in a very cold place where they could stay frozen forever. Unfortunately with the advent of BoldFutura's drilling technology the ocean floor is no longer safe. hmm where would a safe place be? How about....SPACE!

Hence the emergency launch of the satellite even though it was stormy. Maybe it was in a last ditch effort to "Ensure our future" lol

I don't know just running with the idea and there are many holes in my theory, but it's as plausible as anything else we've heard so far lol

I dunno Walrus Ive been with you all the way on this, and those three holes in rob's shirt look pretty convincing that he has been attacked by aforementioned tardigrades with the way they eat their prey!
