      Fish, mostly. It really depends which ocean, and how close to the bottom you want to go. Some oceans are deeper than others, and the kind of animals that you find down there depends more on depth than anything else, because the depth tells you the pressure and normally the temperature of the water. There’s probably loads of creatures that we’ve never seen down there, and some of the ones we have are super weird, like angler fish, or the incredibly weird little bacteria and things that live in magma vents down there, eating the heat and crazy minerals instead of normal food like everything else. The bottom of the ocean is weird.
