Or think about what the deep sea has already delivered.
In 1990, researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography scooped sediment from the ocean floor off the Bahamas and found a previously unknown deep sea bacterium called Selenospora.
From it, they isolated a compound now called Marizanib that can do something no existing brain cancer drug can.
It crosses the blood-brain barrier.
It's currently in the final stages of clinical trials for glioblastoma, one of the most untreatable cancers known to medicine, and it's not alone.
12 marine-derived compounds have already received FDA approval as cancer treatments, with 34 more in clinical trials.
Giant isopods, the animals that can survive five years without food by dropping their metabolism to almost nothing, have the potential to inform research into metabolic disorders, organ preservation and potentially the psychological challenges of long-duration space travel, where the human body must be sustained with minimal resources for extended periods.
We came looking for monsters in the dark, but what we found were biological breakthroughs.
Animals that push back against aging, resist disease and grow to impossible sizes using molecular tricks we are only just beginning to understand.
The deep ocean isn't just the last frontier for exploration, it may well be the last frontier for biology too, and I personally can't wait to keep exploring.
Let me know in the comments down below, which of these creatures do you love the most?
Did we miss any from this list?
And perhaps most importantly, which ones you think might still be out there waiting to be found?
Something is shifting in the Pacific Ocean.
It's not a storm or a current you can see from the surface, but a slow, powerful build-up of heat, spanning thousands of kilometres.
And it's been playing a dangerous game of hide and seek.
Now, out there for all to witness, the Pacific Ocean is undergoing a violent flip.
The latest information suggests we are on the precipice of a Super El Nino, possibly the strongest El Nino event in 140 years.
A very rare high-intensity episode that would propel global temperatures into uncharted territories.
This isn't a seasonal shift, it's a global reorganization of energy.
