Eulagisca gigantea is a large Antarctic scale worm from the family Polynoidae, reaching up to 20 centimeters in length and living at depths of around 500 meters in the Southern Ocean. Its body is flat, composed of about 40 segments, each covered by scale-like plates called elytra. A distinctive feature is its eversible proboscis with strong, pincer-like jaws, which it uses to capture other marine organisms. With its fearsome appearance, it is perfectly adapted to the extreme cold, high pressure, and darkness of the Antarctic deep sea. Because of its metallic bristles and bizarre, almost alien form, Eulagisca gigantea is often described in scientific research as one of the most fascinating and eerie creatures of the deep ocean.
