[OT] - Deep Sea creatures at sea level die

I've thought about this, too -- having the monster literally be a deep sea creature (as opposed to something that suddenly grew there, or landed there, etc.) definitely calls for a little suspension of disbelief if you've read anything about deep sea animals.

I understand the whole deep sea animal thing, I don't know... maybe when they made this film they were not thinking that people would actually think about this lol

The monsters roar still sounds like a whale or whale-like to me.. I know that this theory was posted before. click the little silver circle that says groaning.

Even the small monsters 'if that what it is' sounds whale-like, the scene when Marlena rob and lily are running from something after Marlena says " did you hear that"

Nighthawk

How "deep" can a 600' tall creature be anyway?

I know I'm probably going to be embarrassed in a second and the answer is most likely obvious, but are we sure that the monster is in fact a deep sea creature and not just something that was 'created'?
It's hard to sift through all the speculation around here.

You're also assuming it "lives" down there. What if it's in a hibernating state and has been sleeping for thousands or more years and rises to the top of the ocean every now and then to feed? We don't know its life cycle. It could also be insect-like and have a massive exoskeleton to withstand the pressures of burrowing that far below.

it could be a whale that was just feeding on seabed nectar and grew extremely large
