People always make up dumb shit about what’s on the deep web, when this is what’s really on there. Just stuff that’s mildly edgy and really wouldn’t be out of place on some clearnet sites like /b/.
And drugs. It’s actually mostly just drugs.
And pedo honeypots, don’t forget
Hmm, the size and location sounds like sturgeon, but the teeth don’t match. This sounds like a combination of multiple fish.
Maybe they used to be bigger? https://dzen.ru/a/Zqr6DYMJwk91GBLn
Most of those don’t have teeth though, or at least not in the way described by the OP. The ones with teeth either live in the ocean (so unlikely to be under the ice) or are much smaller.
Thanks! Would there not be any ice that connects to the ocean like that
It needs to be really cold to form ice from salt water, due to the much lower freezing point. It does happen (look at the Arctic Circle, ice bergs, etc), but it needs to be really cold.
So the most likely places are rivers and lakes that connect to the ocean, meaning you’re looking for fish that live near the coast. That basically describes sturgeon to a T, and some varieties of sturgeon live in freshwater lakes as well, hence why I guessed it. There are also freshwater varieties of many of the fish in your link.
However, the animals with crazy teeth tend to be further out in the ocean, small, or live in very deep water. Bullets also only penetrate a few feet/couple meters into the water (source):
Hiding underwater can stop bullets from hitting you.
partly confirmed
All supersonic bullets (up to .50-caliber) disintegrated in less than 3 feet (90 cm) of water, but slower velocity bullets, like pistol rounds, need up to 8 feet (2.4 m) of water to slow to non-lethal speeds. Shotgun slugs require even more depth (the exact depth couldn’t be determined because their one test broke the rig). However, as most water-bound shots are fired from an angle, less actual depth is needed to create the necessary separation.
So, we’re looking for a fish that can live in fairly shallow water (3-8 ft, or 1-2.5m), live in a place where ice can form, is very large (3-ish ft diameter, or 1m diameter), and has gnarly teeth. Sturgeon fit everything except the teeth, so that’s what I’m guessing it is. They’re also pretty ugly and have stuff hanging off their mouth at the bottom which could be mistaken for teeth (see image here).
So yeah, my guess is sturgeon, the fish that make caviar.
Baikal lake freezes, it’s very deep (1600m) and it has some strange fishes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Baikal
I suppose. A quick search didn’t yield any horrors with large teeth, and it’s a pretty well-studied lake.
It does have sturgeon though, and those can get truly massive (like 500kg).
Fucking hell. Over 5,000ft deep with more water volume than all 5 great lakes combined. That is hard to even imagine.
Oh FISHING. Moving along, nothing to see here.
Could be a Hucho Taimen. Those are found in Siberia. Just Looks like a gigantic trout to me, though.
That article is 100% generated slop.
Here, have Wikipedia instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hucho_taimen
Thanks for the heads-up. I’ve replaced the AI slop link with the Wikipedia article.
Oh that’s weird. The Finnish word for trout is “taimen”.
As in “siberian trout” is literally “siperian taimen”. I mean it’s not weird but I’ve just read much less Finnish etymology and it’s always a pleasant surprise.
