Imagine, you are a scuba diving  300 meters below the surface off the coast of Máncora, Peru. Its freezing cold even in your dry suit. The red deep water light from your camera makes your surroundings increasingly eerie. Aside from the sparse distribution of krill you begin to think there is no life down here, when out of the corner of your eye, you see several ghostly forms flash by. Unexpectedly, something grabs hold of you. Ten tentacles as thick as your arm equipped with razor-sharp barbs are wrapping around your head, threatening to pull off your mask and breathing apparatus. As you fight back you realize the futility. This creature has complete control of you in this environment. This is its territory.  As your camera falls to the depths, the red light reveals a gleaming black beak at the center of its mass yawning for your flesh. This is the end. Then, as quickly as it came, it disappears, leaving you drifting in complete, senseless terror. You just been attacked by a red devil, the most fearsome predator of the deep.
