    Do you think the creatures brought up from the depths in these things get freaked the fuck out seeing everything at the surface after living in near total darkness their whole lives?

    Like holy shit the amount of visual stimulation is probably intensely painful.

      Most of them are blind or have only rudimentary visual capacity iirc. No advantage in evolving vision if there’s nothing to see anyway.

        Sure, but wouldn’t you think those with eyes would logically be pretty sensitive to light, like to find bioluminescent prey and stuff?
